Great Plains Pointer Rescue

Application/Adoption Process 1. Once you feel you are well-educated on the breed, review the available dogs on our website. If one seems like a fit for you, complete an online adoption. Applications do not bind you to adopt. 2. Once you have submitted your application, contact your personal references and veterinarian to let them know we will be reaching out. Applications are processed first come, first serve and this step is the one that can be done in an hour or take days to weeks depending on your contacts returning our messages. 3. A home visit will be completed by a GPPR volunteer. 4. The Board of Directors reviews the application, vet check, references, and home visit notes to decide on application approval. 5. Once approved, applicants are connected to the foster parent to exchange information about the dog and the prospective home. It is important to note that many applications can be received and processed for one dog. We process the best fit for both the dog and the adoptive family. Once approved, the application will be honored for any of the dogs in our program. An approval does not guarantee the dog will be available. 6. If both parties agree it sounds like a fit, a meet and greet is scheduled. Meet and greets require ALL household members (human and pets) to be present. These are preferably completed at the foster home where the dog is familiar with the environment. 7. If the meet and greet goes well and all parties agree, an adoption can take place that day.
