Thank you for your interest in adopting! Our goal in rescuing animals is to provide them with a loving home for the rest of their lives. Our adoption fees support our organization by covering part of the medical costs associated with this animal and other animals in our care. All animals rescued by Miracle Foundation SD are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped prior to adoption. 

ADOPTION POLICIES: At Miracle Foundation SD (MFSD), we believe all pets deserve to live in a clean and loving home where they are considered a valued member of the home and family. Submitting an application does not guarantee that you will be able to adopt one of our pets. We carefully screen all of our applicants and review every application and situation to ensure our pets find the perfect home. Any incomplete application, false or misleading information provided on this application is grounds for refusal. In addition:
1) We only adopt to homes where the pet will live indoors as a family member. We do not allow pets to be left outdoors while their guardians are at work or away for long periods of time.
2) All pets are fixed prior to adoption. If the pet is too young to be spayed or neutered upon adoption, you agree to spay/neuter the pet you adopt from MFSD as soon as the pet is medically able to be spayed or neutered. Any other pets in the same household MUST also be spayed or neutered*.
3) We reserve the right to do a home check at any point after the adoption.
Some of our pets are older or may have a medical condition. Should this be the case with the pet you are interested in adopting, additional requirements may have to be met by the adoptive family.
4) All applicants must be at least 21 years of age, or have the consent and knowledge of all adults living in your home. IF YOU RENT, you must provide a copy of your rental agreement, or your landlord's name, phone number, and email address. We reserve the right to refuse any adoption applicant for any reason.
5) You agree to return the pet you adopted from MFSD to us if you can no longer care for it.
6) You grant MFSD, its representatives, volunteers and employees the right to take photographs of you, your family and/or your MFSD rescue pet in connection with any MFSD marketing and fundraising initiatives. You authorize MFSD, its assigns and transferees to copyright, use and publish the same in print and/or online mediums. You agree that MFSD may use such photographs of me, my family and/or your MFSD rescue pet with or without my name and for any lawful purpose, including for example such purposes as publicity, illustration, advertising, and Web content.

I VERIFY THAT I HAVE ANSWERED ALL OF THE QUESTIONS TRUTHFULLY. I UNDERSTAND IF ANY OF THIS INFORMATION IS FOUND TO BE FALSE, MIRACLE FOUNDATION SD MAY CONFISCATE THE ADOPTED ANIMAL. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE PLACEMENT OF ANY ANIMAL FOR ANY REASON AND WITHOUT NOTIFICATION. 

***WE REQUIRE A HOME VISIT AND REQUIRE THAT ALL MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY 
(INCLUDING OTHER PETS) VISIT WITH THIS ANIMAL PRIOR TO ADOPTION. BY SUBMITTING THIS APPLICATION TO MIRACLE FOUNDATION SD, YOU ACCEPT, ACKNOWLEDGE AND WILLINGLY ALLOW SUCH VISIT.*** 
BY SIGNING THIS, YOU PERMIT MIRACLE FOUNDATION SD TO OBTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR CRIMINAL BACKGROUND, HOME SITUATION, AND CARE OF ANIMALS.
