TVCAS Adoption Application

  • Teton Valley Community Animal Shelter Adoption Application

  • Thank you for filling out this profile. The questions that we ask and the information that you provide helps us make the best match for you and your family.

     ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: REVIEW PRIOR TO APPLYING.

    • We require an application and adoption contract that outlines ownership expectations.  Occasionally we require a home visit as well.

    • Teton Valley Community Animal Shelter (TVCAS) also requires personal references (preferably not family members) as well as a veterinarian reference.  All will be contacted prior to approving an application / adoption.

    • For homeowners, we require proof of ownership and may validate with county or state records. If you are not listed on government records, we will verify you have permission to have a cat and or the size/breed dogs with the owner of record / Landlord.

    • All family members living in the household must be present for the meet and greet.  All family members must also agree to the adoption terms.

    • The applicant must be 21 years of age or older.

    • TVCAS does not reimburse for any cost or expense that you have incurred for the Pet after the adoption process has been completed.

    • We reserve the right to deny any adoption application.

     Additional Expectations:

    • You will keep your adopted dog on a leash or inside a fence or appropriate containment system any time it is outdoors.  We strongly suggest that cats be indoors only due to the large predators in the area.

    • You will provide proper introduction to other animals in the household or animals met outside the household.  TVCAS can provide assistance with this process.

    • Be willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide training, care, and medical treatment for your pet.

    • If the adoption is not working out, please contact VDR to make arrangements.  Do not take the animal to another shelter, rehome or give it away.

    • You are responsible for verifying city, county or state laws regarding the keeping of pets, including the legal number of dogs / cats allowed, licensing requirements and whether certain breeds of dog are banned or restricted in your HOA community.
