Once your application has been reviewed and approved, an adoption counselor will contact you and discuss your matches. After your discussion, you may schedule an appointment with our team for a meet & greet with your match/es.
Before an animal can start the process of going home, remember that we need to have this form finished and emailed back, a copy of your ID, and any housing, HOA/landlord approvals at least 2 hours before the meet & greet appointment. Any special or outstanding circumstances must be explained prior to the meet & greet. All ESA and/or service animal paperwork must be verifiable and signed by a physician prior to the meet and greet.
During your meet and greet, the counselor can go over with you your options for meeting other family members, dog to dog intro, cat/dog intros and other information, including foster to adopt. Your meet & greet facilitator may suggest fostering to allow both potential adopters such as yourself and the animal an opportunity to see if it will be a good fit, without the commitment. This time frame is usually 2-3 days to two weeks, in the home. If all goes well, we start the adoption process!
Even when times are tough, we are committed to finding homes for all of our animals!
Lifetime Guarantee
If an adopter ever decides they can no longer care for an animal adopted from Utah Animal Adoption Center we will accept the pet back into our rescue program.
