After someone applies to adopt your pet (you'll be notified via email and within your account), log in to Rehome and follow these steps:
1. Click on your pet's profile and scroll down to "Applications".
2. Click the "View Application" button to screen your pet's adoption applications.
Pro Tip: Please be aware, we do NOT review applicants for you. Here's how to successfully screen adoption applications for your pet!
3. Do NOT click "Finalize Adoption" yet! If you want to take the next step with an applicant, click "Contact Adopter" on the top of their application. If you do not want to take the next step with an applicant, click the white "Politely Decline" button.
4. When you click "Contact Adopter" their phone and email address will be displayed directly below:
5. Call them (do not just text or email)! If the applicant doesn't pick up when you call, leave a message with your pet's name and your phone number. If the applicant doesn't return your call within 48 hours, click the "Politely Decline" button on their application and review other applications as they come in!
Not so Fun Fact: If an applicant will not speak to you on the phone, that's a huge red flag; we advise you decline their application.
6. After your call, if both you and the applicant would like to move on to the next step, schedule a Meet & Greet in a safe public place. Check out our tips for a successful Meet & Greet and what comes next in our Step-by-Step Guide to Rehoming your Pet - start at #5!
