What are the next steps?

vet references

An AARF Adoption Counselor will call your veterinarian. If you haven’t had previous pets, we require two personal non-relative references.

Home Visit

With an approved application, an AARF Adoption Counselor will call to set up a home visit. This provides an opportunity for AARF to see if your home is a good fit for the dog and if you feel the dog is a good fit for your home. It provides an opportunity to ask specific questions, so you can be prepared to welcome your new dog.
