How To Adopt A Pet From VOCAL

Have you found a pet that you like on our adoption page and now you are wondering how to adopt from VOCAL? The first thing to do is submit an application!  The application requires no commitment from you, if you decide later on the animal is not the right fit. The application simply allows us to start the process with you. We do not currently have set visiting or business hours, but instead schedule adoption meet and greets by appointment. 

As an organization founded by animal advocates, we truly see the animals in our care as family members. With this in mind, consider for a moment the thought processes you would go through if you were re-homing one of your beloved pets. You probably just thought of several questions you would want answered (for both the pet and the future owners sake) and considered a few steps you would take to ensure it was a great match! We believe you would expect any organization handling the adoptions of dogs and cats to have a process that is both thorough yet as expedient as possible.  Below we have outlined what you can expect from our adoption process.

STEP 1

Adoption Counselors review the applications.

STEP 2

Adoption Counselor contact the applicants via phone to discuss details of the application and answer any questions the applicant may have.

STEP 3

If the applicant and the Adoption Counselor agree that the animal and their home sound like it could be a potential match, a meet and greet is scheduled.

STEP 4

If the pet and the applicant seem to be the perfect match, the animal has found its new home and the adoption is complete!
