We are dedicated to placing our animals in the best home suitable for that pet.
Our adoption process includes:

- Home visit with the adoptable pet.
Interested in adopting one of the dogs listed above? Here are the next steps:
Complete our (online adoption application) with the name of the dog you are applying for. We will review all applications for each dog in order to make a decision about which home best suits the dog’s needs. Applications are not considered in the order they are received; all applications will be considered in determining the best situation for each dog. Completing an adoption application is not a guarantee that you will receive the dog you are applying for, Chances Angel Rescue reserves the right to reject any application as we see fit. We will call the Veterinary references you listed on the application and contact you to schedule a home visit. These checks are performed to ensure that you will be a responsible pet parent and that you will provide routine veterinary care for the dog as needed. During a home visit, we will assess the living situation as well as the dog’s behavior, especially around any children or other pets. Chances Angel Rescue will follow up with your vet to ensure your pet has been sterilized. Chances Angel Rescue may repossess the pet if this contract is not honored.
