Meet and Greets
How to submit a Meet & Greet request
Thank you for your interest in adopting from Wolf Trap Animal Rescue! We understand the desire to meet a new forever family member in person before making the big decision to adopt. Adopting is a life commitment, and having all members of the family on board (including those four-legged members!), can be essential to a smooth transition into a new forever home. All of WTAR’s animals reside in foster homes across the DC/Maryland/Virginia. Each puppy/kitten has a designated adoption date, which can be found on their profile. If you are interested in adoption, you must have an application on file and request to meet a particular puppy or kitten. Please make sure you complete BOTH steps in order to be considered for adoption and connected to the foster parent.
If you do not follow and complete both steps, your Meet & Greet request will not be processed.
Step 1. Submit Adoption Application
All potential adopters must have adoption application on file a pay the non-refundable $25 application fee in order to facilitate meet & greet requests.
Adoption Applications only need submitted once per pet type (dog vs cat) and are good for any pet you are interested in adopting through WTAR
Note: Adoption fee applications are not reviewed until step 2 is completed, indicating you are ready to adopt.
Step 2. Submit Meet & Greet request
Once you have submitted the M & G request, WTAR admin will ensure you have an application on file and will review. Within 1 to 2 business days, your information will then be sent to the foster of the pet you wish to meet. The fosters typically respond within 24-48 hours.
Note: M & G requests are processed on first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to monitor the website and get your request in as soon as you see a pet you are interested in adopting.
