Applications received through internet or at meet & greet events held at Pet Supplies Plus in Canton, Michigan. Applications are pre-screened by the Homeward Bound Rescue League board for pre-approval. Once an application has been pre-approved the applicant’s information is forwarded to the foster parent/family of the specified pet. The foster parent/family will contact the applicant to conduct an additional screening and set-up a meeting between the potential adopter and the pet. At this in person meeting the final decision is made whether to allow the applicant to foster the pet for a specified period of time. Generally, the foster period is two weeks for adult dogs and one week for puppies. At the end of the foster period the applicant returns to PSP with the pet where a final interview takes place. Based on HBRL final approval, the applicant has the option to finalize the adoption or return the pet to HBRL at the final interview. |
