What is the process for adopting from Homeward Bound?
The first step is to fill out an adoption application. Once your application is received, it will be forwarded to a Placement volunteer in your area. Within a week or so, you should receive a call from the volunteer, who will ask you some questions and schedule a home visit. Once you have been approved to adopt, you may make an appointment to visit our Adoption Center to meet dogs. Please note that most of our volunteers work full time, in addition to having family commitments. They do not get paid and they do this work out of love for the dogs. So please be patient with us if we don’t contact you right away. If you have filled out an online application and haven’t heard from your Placement volunteer, you may email our Placement Coordinator at 4rescue@onemain.com.
