Our adoption process is designed to ensure the best match between pets and families. It includes:

• Completing an adoption application
• Meeting the animal
• Speaking with our adoption team
• Finalizing paperwork and payment

**Some adoptions may require meet-and-greets with existing pets and/or additional screening.

Fees vary based on age and current promotions. Please speak with our team for current pricing.

In general, a hold cannot be placed on a pet.  The exception to this would be if we have an approved application and our adult dog must complete a meet and greet with other adult dogs in the home.  We will then pend that application for up to 24 hours pending the results of the meet and greet.

In most cases, yes. We require meet-and-greets to ensure compatibility. Our team will help facilitate safe introductions outside of the adoption center.

We understand that sometimes things don’t go as planned. If it is impossible for the pet to remain in the home, they may be responsibly rehomed or returned to One of a Kind Pets per the instructions in your adoption contract. 

If you need to return your pet to One of a Kind Pet Rescue, please complete the Surrender Request Form on our website. Once submitted, the form will be sent to our animal teams to facilitate the return of the pet.

Often, yes! If your application is approved and all requirements are met, same-day adoptions are possible.

We have a very successful Foster to Adopt program.  This applies to new intakes waiting for their spay/neuter surgery.  It may also apply to other pets who have specific needs. Visit our Become a Foster page to learn more and submit an application for consideration.
