Adoption Questionnaire

After you submit your completed adoption questionnaire, we will review it.

Phone Interview

If, after this initial screening, we believe you may be a good match for the dog you specified in the adoption questionnaire, we will call you for a phone interview.

Meet and Greet

If, after the phone interview, we determine that you meet our initial requirements, we will schedule a meet and greet with you, your resident pets, and the dog you wish to adopt from us.

Home Visit

After the meet and greet (or at the same time as the meet and greet), we will conduct a home visit.

Trial Adoption

If you're approved as adopter, we will recommend a trial adoption of one to two weeks.

Adoption Agreement & Adoption Fee

Lastly, you're asked to sign the adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to finalize the adoption process.

We will meet you at your home to evaluate if it meets our expectations of a safe, loving environment for the dog you wish to adopt from us.

We generally recommend a trial adoption period of one to two weeks.

Yes, there is an adoption fee. This helps cover the costs of meeting the many needs of the dogs in our rescue family, ensuring they receive the care and attention they deserve while they wait for their furever homes.

Great question! Even if you’ve been fostering a dog, there is still an adoption fee if you decide to make them a permanent part of your family. The fee helps us continue our work to save more dogs in need.

Adoption fees vary by dog.

Not ready to adopt but want to help?

If you aren't ready to adopt a dog from us but would like to support our mission of saving dogs and getting them into loving homes, you may want to consider fostering for us, becoming a Weatherford Wags volunteer, or making a donation to us.
