3) A FIRS Adoption Coordinator will follow up with you AFTER we have received the application, vet & landlord background check have been completed. This typically takes 3 to 5 business days to let you know if you are a good fit. If you do not hear back from us within 5 business days, please contact us by emailing SAVE@FlipsIslandRescue.org or by texting (360) 320-5937 (Sorry, we are unable to respond to voicemail messages).
4) If we feel you are a good fit we can schedule an In person meet and greets with foster family and the animal.
5) Review vet records, sign adoption contract, pay adoption fee. Welcome home your new family member.
NOTE: There is no guarantee of adoption at any step in the process. We are a match making organization. We do not adopt first come first serve. Our priority is finding the right home for the cats and dogs in our rescue.
Once your adoption application is on file, you may use it for consideration of any adoptable animal in the rescue. A new application does not need to be completed.
