It is understood that Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs requires a multi-step process prior to fully approving an adoption application for one of our dogs. We will schedule a meet and greet at your home to introduce our dog to all family members and pets (dogs/cats). If the meet and greet is successful, you will start a one week (minimum) trial adoption. This must be completed before adoption will be finalized. At any time during the trial adoption the dog may be returned to Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs and her/she will return to his/her foster home. If at any time a representative of Sketchy Mutts feels that this is not the best situation for the dog, the application can and will be voided. Our goal is to place our dogs into forever homes that will best suit their individual needs.
