* Some people have religious objections, are allergic, disgusted or are frightened of dogs.
** Neutering/spaying (the operation for dogs not to have offspring) has many health and behavioral benefits. It also ensures that the adopted dog is not used for breeding (including accidental breeding), fighting, or other financial gains. Please note that it is part of our adoption policy that all dogs be neutered/spayed before adoption. However, in the case the dog is too young during the adoption, (like puppies for example) the adopter is expected to get in touch with OPJ when it's time so that the surgery can be arranged at no extra cost to the adopter (unless they wish to make a contribution). If the adopter doesn’t agree to spay/neuter their dog, OPJ will either make sure the dog is already neutered/spayed or be unable to approve the adoption.
*** The adoption fee goes towards the dog’s passport, vaccine, microchip, spaying/neutering (sometimes also deworming, tick/flee treatment and surgery).
**** The home visit is performed by one or two OPJ volunteers scheduled at a time of the adopter’s convenience with the aim of seeing where the dog will be housed, sleep, toilet…etc. and provide advice on welcoming a dog into your home.
The follow-up visit is performed by one or two OPJ volunteers scheduled at a time of the adopter’s convenience with the aim of seeing how the family is coping with the dog and how the dog is coping with his/her new home, as well as provide any necessary advice. This is also usually when the adoption is finalized, the adoption agreement is signed and the adoption fee is paid.
