I have read the above information carefully and have filled out this application honestly. I understand that omission of information and/or failure to answer all questions and sign the application can result in this application being declined. Also, if an omission or untruth is discovered after an adoption takes place, I understand that CCFR reserves the right to annul the adoption and reclaim the animal. I give CCFR permission to fully investigate the information provided as well as contact veterinarians and related officials. If the application passes this review, I agree to a home and yard visit on a mutually agreed date by a CCFR volunteer before an adoption decision is made. In addition, I understand the adoption decision is dependent on many factors, including but not limited to the compatibility of the family and home to the individual animal, and other applications received on this animal. I understand it is CCFR’s prerogative to decide which home is most appropriate and that their decision is final and, therefore, I will not argue with the decision.
