Adoption Process

Complete an adoption application
Tell us all about you! Your home, your lifestyle, and what you’re looking for in a new best friend.

Meet available pets
Tails Together uses a matchmaking adoption model, which means we’ll use your application to match you with pets in our care that would be a great fit in your family.

Make it official
Once you meet a pet and fall in love, we offer foster-to-adopt periods with full support from Tails Together to ensure it’s a great fit – once you know, we’ll help you make it official. Don’t worry, we’re still here for support if you need it post-adoption!
