By sending this electronically, I acknowledge that I have completely read this questionnaire and comprehend it fully. I understand that applying does not ensure approval and that untruthful answers can result in the denial of adoption of any Frankie's World animal. I certify that the above information is correct, and I understand that the information will be verified. I agree to have Frankie's World complete reference call checks, and schedule an intake call to discuss my application prior to approval. I agree that if I'm unable to properly care for my adopted rat(s) anymore, that I will return them to Frankie's World and try to give us as much notice as possible if doing so in order for us to prepare and try to find foster homes if needed.

THANK YOU for your interest, time, and effort! We will be in touch soon! If you haven't heard from us in 2 weeks, please email frankiesworldrescue@gmail.com with a friendly reminder!
