Most adoption returns happen in the first three months. The dog chews something expensive. The cat does not get along with the kids. The new owner did not expect the adjustment period. Adoption Boost gives families 90 days of real support so placements stick.
Most adoption returns happen in the first 90 days. A newly adopted dog chews through furniture. A cat does not get along with the kids. The adjustment period catches new owners off guard. Without guidance and support, adoptions that should have succeeded get returned to shelters, creating heartbreak for families and overcrowding for facilities.
Adoption Boost changes this by providing families with the tools, resources, and real-time support they need to succeed during those critical first months. No pamphlets. No "good luck." Actual help from people who know what the adjustment looks like.
