Certify & Submit

A pet you adopt today will likely be part of your family for the next 12 to 15 years.

For those of you applying to adopt a dog... A dog makes considerable demands on your time and resources. As a dog owner, you will need spend time training, socializing, grooming, feeding, scooping poop, exercising and playing with your dog each day. Dogs that have not had training need even more time and socialization. All dogs require regular medical care. Some dogs require special food or medications. Some dogs require regular professional grooming.

When adopting either a dog or a cat, keep in mind that vet bills, pet sitting and vacation boarding fees may add considerable expense. All applicants need to be prepared to accept the personal and financial responsibility of owning a rescued dog or cat.

I certify that I understand adopting a pet is a serious responsibility.

Yes, I understand.

I certify that the information provided on this application is true, and I recognize that any misrepresentation of facts will result in losing adoption privileges. I further understand that the adoption of this pet may be delayed until information can be verified.
