Our adoption process requires a completed Adoption Application, vet check, and home visit prior to adoption. If an adoption occurs there is an Adoption Contract the adopter will need to sign. If the animals is not fixed at the time of adoption, the Contract will contain a Spay/Neuter Agreement which details when the animal must be sterilized. A refundable spay/neuter deposit is also required at the time of adoption. We do not adopt our animals out on a first-come-first-served basis or do on-site adoptions. We strive to place our animals in an adoptive home that will best meet the animal's needs.
Before the animal is released to the adopter, adopter must provide a collar tag with the adopter's contact information on it. This is required in case the newly adopted animal should get loose.
The adopted animal's microchip is transferred to the adopter after the Adoption Contract has been processed.
