China requires that there be at least a one-year age difference between siblings. It is possible that the age of child referred may be older then requested in order to ensure this age difference.

Those of us at Chinook Winds Greyhound Rescue want this match to be made in Heaven! To that end, we ask that you fill out an application form, participate in a telephone interview and arrange a home visit by an Adoption Representative.

When you've found an animal on our Web site that you want to adopt, you can meet him or her at one of our adoption sites. You'll be asked to complete a questionnaire so that we can ensure a good match between you and your new pet. If you meet the requirements to adopt that animal, you'll complete our adoption contract. The contract is necessary to transfer ownership of the animal to you. It also contains a record of your pet's vaccines.

You will be provided another referral. You will not incur additional foreign program fees or agency fees. Yes, AdoptInternational can provide many references of families who have adopted through us.

Guatemala and Liberia, for example, do not require travel.

The status of a project is for the most part a matter between the community in which the development is occurring and their process and the developer up until the adoption date.
