Adopt Through The Good Strays Project
We help connect potential adopters with rescue groups and provide a simple adoption form for shelters that do not have an online process yet.
Adoption is more than choosing a rescue animal. It is the beginning of a commitment, a conversation, and a thoughtful process to help ensure every animal finds a safe, loving, and lasting home.
How the Adoption Process Works
-
1. Choose an animal or rescue group
-
Start by finding the rescue animal you are interested in through one of our partner shelters or rescue groups.
-
2. Complete the adoption form
-
If the rescue group does not have its own online application, you can use this form to share your information.
-
3. The rescue group reviews your application
-
The information you provide helps the rescue group understand your home, lifestyle, experience, and expectations to determine the best possible match.
-
4. Next steps are handled by the rescue group
-
The rescue group may contact you for a conversation, home check, meet-and-greet, or additional questions before making a final adoption decision.
Before You Apply
Adopting a rescue animal is a long-term responsibility. Before completing the form, please make sure you are ready to provide:
-
A safe and stable home
-
Time for adjustment, patience, and building trust
-
Proper food, veterinary care, and daily attention
-
Permission from your landlord, if you rent
-
Commitment from all members of your household
Every rescue group may have its own adoption criteria. Submitting this form does not guarantee adoption, but it helps begin the process in a clear and organized way.
Important Note
The Good Strays Project does not replace the rescue group's adoption process. We provide this form as a support tool for shelters and rescuers who do not yet have their own online application system.
Final adoption decisions, requirements, and follow-up steps are handled directly by the rescue group responsible for the animal.
