The adoption process:
All our dogs go out with Distemper and Rabies vaccinations, others have
also been vaccinated against Bordatella. In addition, they have been heartworm-tested,
de-wormed and spayed/neutered
Our main concern, when adopting out an animal, is that it be placed in a good home
where it can be loved as a pet should be. We reserve the right to refuse any potential
adoption. To insure that the animal fits into your environment we take the following
steps:
 | If you
are interested in one of our animals we ask you to fill out a non binding pre-adoption form (print it out, fill it in and bring it to the next adoption
or mail in before hand) which provides us with some
background information about the environment into which the animal will be placed. This
form will be screened and a determination is made if the animal will be a good match. We
take in consideration your family and life style to insure that you will be happy with the
animal you adopt. |
 | If the
adoption is approved you will be asked to sign a legally
binding contract that states among other things, should it be
found that the animal is not compatible with its new home or for any other reason you are
unable to keep the animal, it will be returned to
us.
|
 | Finally,
you will be asked for a donation of $100 for a cat or $200
for a dog. These donations offset the cost of caring for the animals as well as veterinary
costs. Remember, all animals have their shots and have been neutered.
We are a participant in the New Jersey State Spay/Neuter program, Animal Population
Control (APC) whereby when you adopt an animal from us it will cost you only $20.00 to get
the animal spayed/neutered if the animal is too young at the time of adoption
|
If you already have a pet and are thinking of adopting another, it would
be a good idea to bring your dog to one of our adoptions ( see our calendar
for time and place) to see how the two interact.
