For the most part, adoptions take place the same day you come to our shelters or mobile adoptions.
However, some animals require a trial adoption. This gives extra time for the new pet to get comfortable in the home, and for the potential adopters to get used to caring for the new pet. This can help ensure that love matches turn into love story adoptions for these eligible pets. The SPCA of Texas provides behavioral and medical support during the trial period to help ensure a smoother transition from shelter to home. You can see if the pet you are interested in adopting is available for foster to adopt at www.spca.org/adopt.
