Adoption process

Individuals interested in adopting one of our animals must submit an adoption application. This application is screened for completeness and to ensure that the information meets our basic standards for adopters. The screening process includes checking personal and veterinary references. Following this, the application is reviewed by our Board, which votes on whether it is suitable for further processing. If approved, a home visit is scheduled. After the visit, the Board will vote again, taking into account all available information, including our knowledge of the animal and its needs, to determine if the applicant is a suitable candidate for adoption. A signed adoption contract is required prior to the release of any animal. Additionally, we charge an adoption fee to help cover the medical expenses incurred for the animal. These expenses include sterilization, vaccinations, dental care, and other health services. The adoption fee typically ranges from $250.00 to $500.00. Finally, arrangements are made for the adopter to pick up the animal, with the cost of transportation being the responsibility of the adopter.
