Adoption Policies & Requirements

The following conditions must be met by potential adopters in order to be considered for approval:

• Primary applicant must be 21 or older.

• Any other cats or dogs in the home must be up to date on vaccines in order to receive an approved application.

• Applications with incomplete information will not be processed.

• After receiving your application, we will conduct a veterinarian check (as applicable), a background check, and a landlord check (as applicable).

• You must have an approved application in order to be put in touch with an animal's foster family.

• An approved application does not guarantee a certain dog, and we do not guarantee adoption on the same day as a meet and greet.  

• ​All potential adopters are expected to complete at least one meet and greet. Certain animals may require more than one meet and greet depending on their specific needs. All residents of the home, including pets, are required to be at the meet and greet. 

• There will be a home visit for all adoptions. This may be done in-person or virtually, as determined by Olyver & Co.

• Olyver & Co strives to ensure the best possible matches between our animals and their forever homes. While we consider all applications carefully, we may, in some cases, decide that a particular adoption is not in the best interest of the pet or the applicant. Please understand that all adoption decisions are made with the utmost care and are final and confidential.

• If you are going on vacation or moving, please apply after you return or when settled into your new home, unless you are applying for preapproval and/or are willing to wait.

• Please make sure ALL individuals residing in your home are on board with adopting a pet BEFORE you apply. This includes roommates.

Application Process

Please note: an approved application means that your have passed the initial screening process and may proceed to the following steps, which may include being contacted by the foster home. It is not a guarantee of adoption. The animal you are interested in may have more than one application and may have already found his/ her forever home before you are able to meet.
