- A meet and greet with the pet. A completed application must be received prior to a scheduling the meet and greet.
- If the meet and greet goes well, and family would like to take the next step a home visit will be scheduled. A home visit is a requirement as we would like to meet with you and your family. We want to make sure a good match is made for both your family and our rescued Eskie.
- IMPORTANT AND PLEASE NOTE: The adoption is not approved until a home visit is completed. The home visit is done so family can make sure this is a good fit for them and any other family pets.
- After the home visit is completed, and we have approved your adoption, you will be able to meet the foster family (or speak by phone). You will be asked to sign an adoption agreement and a wavier of liability at that time. In addition, you will be given the rescued Eskie’s adoption folder and any other medical information.
Thank you for complying with the above requirements. Call 314-647-1112 with any questions. We appreciate your time and understanding of these adoption requirements. We want the best for these poor homeless dogs that come into rescue in terrible conditions and no fault of their own.
