The meet and greet
What happens when you come to meet them
Plan on about an hour. Nobody will pressure you to decide on the day.
Your hour, roughly
Say hello to the foster
They'll tell you the good, the odd and the medical.
Meet on the floor
Sit down, let the animal come to you. Treats provided.
A walk or a play session
Dogs go round the block; cats get the feather wand.
Decide, or sleep on it
If it's a yes, trial paperwork takes ten minutes. If you need a day, we'll hold them for 48 hours.
Storefront hours
When the door's open on Haywood Road
Drop in during open hours. For a meet and greet outside these times, ask the foster directly.

Questions
Before you apply
What does the fee cover?
Spay or neuter, microchip registered to you, rabies and core vaccines, a heartworm or FeLV/FIV test, flea treatment and a week of their usual food. The fee covers about half of what we spend on the average animal.
Do you adopt to renters?
Yes, gladly. We'll just need your landlord's pet policy so nobody ends up heartbroken in a month.
Do you adopt outside Asheville?
Within about 100 miles, as long as you can come to meet the animal in person. We don't ship animals or hand them over in parking lots.
What if it doesn't work out?
Bring them back to us, at any point in their life. We would always rather have them back than see them rehomed online.
Can I adopt as a gift?
Only if the person receiving the animal comes to the meet and greet. Surprise puppies are lovely for an afternoon and hard for a decade.
