FAQ > Answers to our most frequently asked questions about adopting > How long does the adoption procees take?
We try to answer every applicant within a week, but sometimes we might be knee-deep in applications and it might take a bit longer! You can help speed up the process by making sure your references visit the site and complete the reference form. If you currently have a pet, your vet will need to fax information to us. We can't move forward without receiving your references and vet information.
