By filling out this application and signing below, I understand that I am not guaranteed approval to adopt. I also understand that adopting and owning an animal is a lifelong commitment. Aside from basic care and needs, I understand that animals require yearly veterinary care as well as occasional emergency veterinary care and am prepared for that financial responsibility.

I understand the above, and have tried to the best of my knowledge to make sure all information is correct.
