Sweet Paws Dog Adoption Process
At Sweet Paws Dog Rescue Inc, we are dedicated to finding loving and suitable forever homes for vulnerable small dogs in Melbourne. Our adoption process is designed to ensure that both the dogs and potential adopters have the best chance of forming a happy and lasting bond. Please note that we only consider applications from residents within Melbourne.
Step 1: Fill out an Adoption Form
The first step in our adoption process is to fill out an adoption form.
www.sweetpawsdogrescue.com.au/adoptions-form
In this application, you will provide details about yourself, your living situation, and your preferences for adopting a dog.
Step 2: Initial Screening
Our adoption team will carefully review all applications received.
We will contact applicants whose profiles align with the needs and requirements of the dog you’ve applied for.
Although we are all volunteers who work and have families and other commitments to tend to, we do respond to every applicant- thank you so much for your patience!
Step 3: Phone Call
If your application is selected we will then arrange a phone call.
During this phone call we will discuss the specific dog you’re interested in and get to know you better.
This is an opportunity for us to learn more about your lifestyle and expectations and for you to ask any questions about the dogs history, needs, and care requirements.
Step 4: Home Visit
We will conduct a home visit to assess your living environment and ensure it is safe and suitable for the dog.
This step is crucial to confirm that your home is a loving and secure place for the dog to thrive and live out the remainder of their years.
Step 5: Finalise the Adoption
We will work with you to finalise the
adoption paperwork.
Step 6: Bringing Your New Family Member Home
Congratulations! You can now bring your new family member home.
Our team is always available for any questions or assistance you may need.
Sweet Paws Dog Rescue is committed to its mission of providing vulnerable small dogs with the love and care they deserve while ensuring their successful rehoming in forever homes. Our organisation operates with transparency, a dedicated team, and strong community support to achieve this vision.
