Before you Apply:
In the past we have received many applications from prospective adopters who were not completely prepared, and their applications could not be processed to reach approval. To help us both be successful, please review this checklist and confirm you are truly ready to apply. When there is a significant delay, we may give priority to applications in the order they are approved, not necessarily in the order they are received. It will not help you to apply prematurely only to have approval halted due to any unmet requirements.
