Pets Without Parents Adoption Application

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Please answer each question. INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED! When finished, click the "SUBMIT" button at the bottom of the form.

  • Do not hit the ENTER key or your application will prematurely be submitted. If you accidentally do this, hit the BACK key and you won't have to start all over.

  • Please note that submitting an online application for a particular pet does not necessarily mean that pet will be placed on hold for you. A hold is issued on a "first come, first served" basis, and you will be assigned in the order received.

  • In order for a pet to have the best chance of going home as soon as possible, please come into the shelter to meet the pet you are applying for to be sure it is the right fit for you. We cannot place long term holds on a pet. Once your application is approved and the pet has been spayed/neutered, you must complete the adoption by the next business day or your hold will be removed. Please understand that the sooner a pet is adopted and goes home, the sooner a cage frees up to save the life of another companion animal in need.

YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE TO COMPLETE AND SUMBIT THIS APPLICATION.
YOU MAY NOT COMPLETE THIS APPLICATION FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF.

I certify that I am at least 18 years old AND that I am completing this application for myself.
