Adoption Policy
Our Adoption Process
Online Adoption Application
Visit www.aksofa.org/adopt to read about our adoption process and fill our our Online Adoption Application which will get your interest in adoption into our Database.
Pet Screening with Adoption CounselorÂ
One of our Adoption Counselors will give you a call within 5-10 working days to run through a screening questionnaire as well as answer any questions you may have about the adoption process, or the animal(s) you are interested in.
Meet and Greet
Once you've been screened and approved, we'll arrange a meet and greet with you and the pet, either at the pets foster home or in a neutral setting such as a dog park. This is where you can start to meet and bond with a pet, and we can broker interactions between your existing pet(s) if there are concerns.
Trial Run
We like to give our applicants a trial run period of at least 2 weeks to allow the pet to settle in with your family.
Final Adoption
Once we complete final paperwork the pet is all yours!
Don't forget to register dogs with the local City/Borough!
