Pet ownership is a serious responsibility. The policy of this adoption group is to assure that each person who adopts a pet is aware of the responsibility, and that each is capable and willing and ready to accept that responsibility morally, physically, emotionally and financially. It is quite
true that not everyone who desires to own a pet should have a pet.
The following questionnaire has been designed to aid both you and the adoption group in deciding if you and/or your family is indeed at this moment adequately prepared to assume the type of responsible ownership which we are endeavoring to assure for our adoption animals.
Please be sure to answer all questions and feel free to add your own comments. If a question
does not apply write N/A.

How did you hear about this pet adoption
ADOPTIONS WILL REQUIRE A HOME CHECK FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PET. IN THE EVENT THAT MY APPLICATION IS ACCEPTED, I AGREE AND CONSENT TO HAVE A VOLUNTEER VISIT MY HOME AT A MUTUALLY AGREED UPON TIME. I ALSO GIVE CONSENT TO GREEN HEART RESCUE TO CONTACT MY CURRENT OR PAST VETERINARIAN.
I UNDERSTAND THAT SHOULD I BE ACCEPTED TO ADOPT THIS PET THAT THIS APPLICATION
BECOMES PART OF THE ADOPTION CONTRACT AND THAT THE ADOPTION FEE IS $75.00/DOG*
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO COMPLETE THIS APPLICATION.
PLEASE NOTE: Filling out this application DOES NOT guarantee an adoption. We have thoroughly evaluated all of the animals in our care, and try very hard to match the right dog to the right person and situation. Adoptions are not on a first come first serve basis. We reserve the right not to adopt.
If we do not call or email you within 3-4 days of receiving your application, it means that either:
1. The dog was adopted by another applicant, or
2. We felt that the situation presented on the application was not the right situation for that particular dog.
