Before Covid 19, our procedure was to have a volunteer from our rescue come to your home prior to the adoption to conduct the in-home and yard visit. In these unprecedented times, we have modified this step in the process. A virtual tour using Skype/Facetime (or in some cases a gallery of photos) of the inside of your home (must include all areas that the dog would access) is now acceptable. If you live in a house with a yard, we may schedule a volunteer to conduct a socially-distanced perimeter/yard visit to check the yard and fencing for safety . Please note we would never share the pictures you send us with anyone. Would you consent to this? * Select Yes No
