Oats & Goats Rescue Inc. (OGR) is a non-profit organization dedicated to animal rescue. Our mission is to spread awareness and knowledge regarding animal welfare and safety, help provide educational tools and resources for responsible pet ownership, and most importantly, help rescue animals with the goal of placing them into loving and dedicated "fur"-ever homes. We are committed to the welfare and safety of all animals that come into our care, and our goal is to remain a lifelong resource even beyond the adoption process.
Our primary focus is to find the best possible home for the animals in our care. This means that there are certain requirements that potential adopters need to meet in order for their application to be considered for review:
1. Must be at least 21 years old.
2. Must be prepared to pay an adoption fee prior to the cat being released from our care (upon approval of adoption application). The adoption fee helps to cover initial medical expenses such as deworming, proper vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchipping for the next animals that come into our care.
3. Must understand that meet and greets will be required for all members of the household. All other animals in the home should also already be spayed/neutered (unless there is documentation or a medical reason to show why the animal has not been fixed).
4. Must understand that Oats & Goats Rescue Inc. cannot guarantee that the animal is housebroken or trained prior to adoption.
5. Must understand that although we have the animal medically evaluated prior to adoption, Oats & Goats Rescue Inc. cannot guarantee the health, behavior, or temperament of the animal.
6. Must provide at least three (3) personal references with names and telephone numbers that we can reach directly (at least two references cannot be a family member).
7. Must understand that we reserve the right to deny any application at any time during the review process.
8. Must agree that Oats & Goats Rescue Inc. reserves the right to contact references and conduct a home visit prior to adoption.
9. Must understand that Oats & Goats Rescue Inc. is not financially responsible for costs associated with, or caused by, the animal after its adoption.
This application is designed to help us get to know our potential adopters a bit better before we speak with them over the phone or in person. All applications will be reviewed by Oats & Goats Rescue Inc. in as timely of a manner as possible, and we appreciate your patience as we try to find the best fit possible. Please understand that while your application for a particular animal may be denied, it does not mean your application would not be considered in the future for a different animal, if we feel that your home is the right fit.
Please also email us at oatsandgoatsrescue@gmail.com to let us know that you applied.
Thank you for your application and for opting to adopt!
