Adoption Policy

ADOPTING an OCPoundhound

1.  Print off and complete an application for adoption that can be found on our web site; www.ocpoundhounds.com
No application, no Meet & Greet


2.  Submit the application by scanning and e-mailing


3. Your application will be reviewed and if we feel there is a potential match a telephone interview will be conducted.  If the telephone interview determines there is a potential good match we will check veterinarian, grooming and personal references provided on the application;

4.  If the references are positive we then arrange a Meet & Greet with all members of the family (and other dogs) at a neutral location;


5.  If the Meet & Greet is successful, we then arrange for an in-home adoption trial to start.  These normally start on a Friday evening;

6.  After 30 days the adoption is evaluated and if successful the adoption is finalized.
