So if you’re not seeing your perfect match on the website just yet, it’s still a great idea to apply. The average response time to applications is 1-2 days. They'll schedule a time for you to visit the animals at their kennel. Assuming all goes well and you want to adopt, they'll take care of paperwork, collect medical records from the vet, and get everything ready for your new pet to go home. They do not do same day adoptions, but you can expect to pick up your new cat or dog from the kennel within a day or two.
