Adoption Q&A

Apply by submitting an adoption application 

• Within 24-48 hours of completing the application in full, you will receive a call or text to answer any questions you may have.
• Once your application is approved, you will receive a phone call to set up a home visit.
• Once approved, it’s time to meet dogs that would be ideal candidates for your home!

• Adopters must be age 18 or over.
• Renters are welcome to apply with permission from their landlord.
• Families with children are welcome to apply! Not every dog can handle a home with children, but a lot can!

Yes. We require all resident canines to meet the prospective dog.

Not always. We receive multiple applications for each of our dogs. Not all dogs are suitable for each application and our dogs are not placed in homes on a first come, first served basis. Instead, we strive to make a lifelong match and will consider multiple applications.

Our home inspections are not specific to a particular dog, so this step will not need to be redone if the dog you applied for isn’t available.

The length of time depends on how quickly all the required documents are sent in, and the home visit and meet and greet are coordinated. In addition, the length may vary depending on the number of applications we have for a dog.

Your approval is good for one year as long as your home and situation remain consistent. Hopefully, that’ll give you enough time to watch our website and social media (Facebook) to find the best match.

No. All dogs must be spayed or neutered prior to final adoption. We can however, let you take your new best friend home on a “foster to adopt” basis while he or she is waiting for their spay/neuter appointment.

Absolutely! One of the best homes an animal can find is with their foster family. Our goal is to have the fewest transitions for the pet as possible. We ask that you first let our foster team know you are interested in adopting your foster pet. We cannot consider any family without an application, so you should complete an application as soon as you are considering adoption.

The adoption fee includes all medical and safety related care. Which includes spay or neuter, microchip, vaccinations and current on their monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

No. We are a 100% foster-based rescue. However, our fosters are willing to schedule a meet and greet if you find a dog you’d like to consider adopting.

Please note: Your adoption application must be approved prior to scheduling a meet and greet.

No. We require a complete (including all supporting documentation and approved) application prior to scheduling meet and greets with potential dogs.

Yes, although that process is a little bit different. Ask us by contacting vdroftexas.applications@gmail.com

Not always, unless the dog is fully grown and clearly a certain breed. For many of our amazing dogs, it’s our educated guess on age, breed, and how big puppies will get.
