TFDH Adoption Application

Adoption Application

Are you interested in adopting? Fill out the form below!
Please fill out to your best ability and provide a reliable form of contact information! If you leave multiple questions blank, processing your application will be delayed.

Before filling this application out, please understand the following:

*Must be at least 21 years old to adopt.
*All animals that are currently in the home must be spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventions. Be prepared to send us records, or we can call your vet if needed.
*You must include at least 2 reliable references on this application.
*Home visits have to be completed either in person or virtually by sending us video before applications can be approved.
The adoption application is the first step in the adoption process; it is not a guarantee or commitment of adoption. Once your application is reviewed, you will be contacted with next steps.

We are seeking the best home for each of our animals, not necessarily first come, first serve. We reserve the right to deny someone we do not think is fit to adopt said animal.
