How To Adopt

S.O.S (Sierra’s Online Soulmates) provides consulting services to prospective adopters. We are located in Greenwich, Connecticut and have longstanding relationships with several shelters and rescues in the south where there is an abundance of loving family dogs who are on death row or who are simply abandoned on the streets. We consult with our colleagues in the south who assess the dog's temperament so that we understand fully the type of home each dog will require. We then carefully consult with potential adopters to make sure that the matches between homeless dogs and loving families have the best chance of being successful and permanent.

The first step in the process is filling out an ONLINE APPLICATION easily accessible here, (INSERT LINK) or on each dog's listing page. Whenever possible, we begin with a vet reference. We then schedule a phone interview during which we are available to consult with the adopter, answer any specific questions they may have and ask any questions we may have. Home visits are at our discretion. If the match is approved the adopter will enter an adoption agreement directly with the shelter and transport is arranged. We reserve the right to refuse adoption privileges to anyone we deem not suitably matched to a particular dog.
