  • All info on methods of payment can be found on our Adoption Donation page.

  • Once the Application, Required Documents, Esigned Adoption Agreement, and Adoption Donation is all received you are welcome to take your pet home.

    If your pet is not yet spay/neutered you may “foster to adopt". We are legally not allowed to finalize an adoption until the pet is spay/neutered. You will need to Esign a Foster Agreement. It will be your responsibility to bring your foster pet to their surgery appointment. If you miss your pets surgery appointment you will need to arrange another surgery date and maybe liable to cover the cost.

    Please Note: Cats need a carrier to be transported.

Spay/Neuter Contract

We realize sometimes things come up and you may not be able to bring your foster pet to the surgery date set. If this happens to be the case then the next step would be to complete the adoption process and sign the Spay/Neuter Adoption Agreement Addendum. If you are unable to bring your foster pet to the assigned surgery date/time and are not able to be present for transportation assistance then you will be responsible for rescheduling your surgery date at a vet of your choosing but you will be liable for all costs.

At the time of Signature Full adoption donation and/or remaining balance is due. Along with the Adoption Agreement. This will release liability and end your Foster to Adopt term.

DOGS

CATS
