Application Submission & Consent*

This application is designed to help us determine if the adoption is in the dog’s best interest, and to assist you in finding a compatible pet for your lifestyle. An unwise adoption can result in an unpleasant experience for both the adoptive family and the pet and may ruin the pet for future adoption. We hope you agree that the pet’s welfare MUST BE OUR FOREMOST CONCERN. We reserve the right to examine the adoptive situation and decide what is best for the pet's overall quality of life. Our goal is to ensure a forever home for each pet that is adopted and a conducive life for the pet involved. I understand these goals and agree to them. I also understand that misrepresentation or omission of facts is cause for denial of adoption. I understand the above questions and I authorize investigation of all statements contained in the application. By signing this application, I am stating that the above mentioned is true.
