How to film your home check video…
Thank you for opening your home to a rescue animal!
As part of our adoption process, we ask all potential adopters to submit a short home check video. This helps us ensure the environment is safe, suitable, and ready to welcome a new pet.
Don’t worry — we’re not expecting a professional film! Just a simple walk-through of your home using your phone is perfect.
What to Include in Your Video
Please show us the following areas of your home:
Living Area – Where your pet will spend most of their time.
Sleeping Space – Where your pet will rest (e.g. pet bed, crate, quiet corner).
Feeding Area – Where you’ll place food and water bowls.
Garden or Outdoor Access (if applicable) – Show any outdoor space your pet may have access to. Please include fencing, gates, and boundaries.
Escape Routes – Any doors, windows, or open areas where a pet could slip out.
Other Pets – Introduce any current pets in the home.
Hazards or Areas Off-Limits – Let us know how you’ll manage areas like balconies, fireplaces, or staircases if needed.
Tips for Filming
Use your phone in landscape (horizontal) orientation if possible.
Speak briefly while filming to explain each area, or narrate after recording.
Keep the video under 5 minutes.
No need to tidy perfectly — we’re just looking for safety and setup!
Once your video is ready, please send it to us via Facebook Messenger!
