Yogi's Mastiff Rescue Dog Adoption Application

Yogi's Mastiff Rescue Dog Adoption Application
Yogi's Mastiff Rescue is an all-volunteer, non-profit, animal welfare organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of stray, neglected and abused animals. Yogi's Mastiff Rescue is completely funded through fundraising efforts and public donations. All of our pets are cared for by foster homes and receive complete medical care, which includes worming, vaccinations, and spaying/neutering prior to their adoption.
This questionnaire is designed to help Yogi's Mastiff Rescue and yourself determine if a specific dog is the right one for you and your household. All adopting parties are required to complete this form prior to adoption. Yogi's Mastiff Rescue reserves the right to deny any adoption based on answers to this questionnaire and/or interviews prior to adoptions! All dogs will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption.
