What is the process in evaluating applications to adopt a dog?
The first step is to contact vet and personal references and then a home visit is scheduled. We either have one of our local volunteers conduct the home visit or contact a rescue partner in the area to do the home visit. Applicants are notified of the need for the home visit and within 1 – 2 days upon completion of the home visit, there is notification of approval to adopt from Little White Dog Rescue. Arrangements are then made for the formal adoption. Adoptive homes need to be willing to come to Omaha to pick up their new “furry” baby. We do not ship dogs on airlines in the cargo compartment. Adoptive families need to be willing to either pay for a person to accompany the dog in the passenger compartment of the airline or use one of the airlines that are “Pet Transports Specific.” It is up to the adoptive family to make arrangements for such transports.
