	After downloading and printing MNSR Adoption Application, please mail it to the address on the form. Below is a summary of what you can expect during the application process:
	When your adoption application and processing fee are received by MNSR (mailing address is on the application), we will send you a confirmation letter. One of our adoption team volunteers will contact your veterinary and personal references, and we will then make arrangements with you for your home visit. This part of the process usually takes about 2-3 weeks (sometimes longer if you live outside of the Twin Cities metro area). After the home visit, your application is reviewed by the adoption team and discussed for approval. Once approved, we will make recommendations of Shelties for whom we feel your family and your home life are a good match. After approval and recommendation of potential matches, you will be able to speak to the foster family and arrange a meeting with the foster Sheltie. FInally, the moment you and your dog have been waiting for: Arrangements are made to finalize the adoption and we celebrate another happy ending for a Sheltie in need!
	PLEASE NOTE: - MNSR does not operate a central shelter; our dogs live in foster homes, as we strive to make the dogs' transition to an adoptive family as smooth as possible. We ask that you submit an application for adoption prior to requesting an appointment to meet a sheltie. - All MNSR dogs receive veterinary care and are spayed/neutered prior to going to their last and best home.
