If you like what you see, fill out an online
Adoption Application.
Special
Adoption Note:
If you are in
another state other than Alabama, please contact your local Basset Hound
Rescue first. We are happy to adopt to people all over the
country, but so often people contact us to adopt, we perform a home
visit and then they end up adopting from their own state's rescue
organization. The adoption process uses up a lot of our resources,
and we prefer to use them on people who actually plan to adopt from
Basset Hound Rescue of Alabama. Our Adoption Coordinator would be happy
to discuss this process more with you when you call her.
Shortly after your
application is received, our
Home Visit Coordinator will contact you.
A volunteer will make an appointment to come visit your home and talk to
you about adoption.
If approved, the
Adoptions Coordinator will contact you
and talk to you about your preferences and the dogs available,
and will try to help you make the choice that’s right for you.
You will then print
out an Adoption Agreement,
fill it out and sign it, and mail with your check
with your tax deducible adoption fee made out to BHRA to:
Trudy Phillips
8440 Lanewood Circle
Leeds, AL 35094
OR
You may pay using PayPal!
Just click the "Pay Now" button
below:
Be sure to email
Trudy Phillips
and let her know which dog you are adopting!
(Note: All fees and the Adoption Agreement
must be received prior to the date the dog travels.)
After your Adoption
Agreement and fee are received, make arrangements to get your dog.
The Adoptions Coordinator will advise you of your options here….
Either to pick it up directly from the foster family, or to meet another
volunteer.
If you live a long distance away, arrangements can be made for the dog's
travel.
This will also be something you can discuss with the Adoption
Coordinator.
Expect to receive your dog’s medical records in the mail, in a week or
so.
If for any reason you don’t receive them, contact the Adoptions
Coordinator or the Medical Records
Coordinator.
Expect to be
contacted by our Follow-up Coordinator after about four weeks.
She will be checking with you to see how things are going and get an
update on your new family member.
