The Adoption Process - Details
- Adopter assumes full responsibility for this animal for the animal's entire lifetime.
- Adopter will not allow this animal to breed and if animal is not already spayed or neutered, agrees to spay or neuter adopted pet(s) within six months.
- Adopter will take the animal to a veterinarian for examinations and immunizations at least annually and will procure immediate veterinarian care should the animal become ill or injured.
- Adopter is adopting animal as a companion. Adopter will not chain an animal indoors or outdoors. Adopter will provide proper and sufficient food, water, shelter, and kind treatment at all times.
- If adopter has other pets at home, adopter attests to the fact that all animals are current on their annual vaccinations and are spayed or neutered.
- All pets require training for housebreaking, chewing, and adjustment to family and other pets. Adopter realizes this and accepts responsibility to provide proper and humane treatment and/or training in dealing with these and all issues with adopted pet.
- Adopter agrees to pay an adoption fee for the adopted companion. For pets not neutered or spayed, applicant(s) will obtain a prepaid spay/neuter certificate from their veterinarian and provide it to The ARK Fostercare when receiving their pet. It is the adoptee’s commitment to neuter or spay by the time the canine or feline is six months old. If adopter does not spay or neuter adopted companion, adopter agrees to pay an adoption penalty of $200 to The ARK Fostercare by companion(s)’ one year birthdate.
- Adoption fee will be reimbursed only if animal is returned due to health problems that arise within a 30-day time frame and if animal is returned to the care of The ARK Fostercare.
- Adopter agrees to return animal to The ARK Fostercare anytime during its life if adopter decides pet is no longer wanted. Adopter will not give animal away without first obtaining the written approval of The ARK Fostercare. (You are adopting this pet because we feel you will provide a fit, loving home.) We strongly encourage you to call The ARK Fostercare within 30 days of adoption should adjustment problems become an issue such as not getting along with other pet(s) in the household. Please understand it is The ARK Fostercare’s goal to assist you with your new companion's transition into your home. We have resources available to assist you with any questions and concerns.
- Adopter is aware that The ARK Fostercare employees and volunteers may not know the full background of the animal you are adopting, therefore, you are adopting your pet knowing he/she may not be housebroken or may have other behaviors that will require training to correct.
