After finding your destined pet, it’s time to start the adoption process! Different organizations have different adoption steps, but they generally consist of the following three steps:
#Application_form
The application form will collect your personal information to determine whether you are capable of raising the pet stably. In addition to the basic personal information, many organizations will also request some sensitive information, such as:
– Economic status

For Facebook Groups, it is more or less the same.
#Preparation

#Home_visit
