Adopting with MAAW
Are you ready to welcome a rescue animal into your life? The journey to finding your new fur-ever friend begins right here. Our adoption process is designed to match you with the perfect companion.
The Adoption Process
Browse Animals
Look at our animal profiles online, if any animals interest you, complete and submit your pre-registration.
Next Step
Once your pre-registration is received, one of our staff members will contact you to discuss your application.
Meet and Greet
If you’re a good match for the animal and vice versa, we will arrange a no-obligation meet and greet for you. After this introduction, we give you time to think about it and let us know your feelings the next day.
Adoption
We can offer a two-week trial and give assistance and guidance during that time, should you have any settling-in issues. If the adoption doesn’t work out, we will take your rescue animal back for a full refund within those two weeks.
