Pet Adoption Application

Fuzzy Friends Rescue
Welcome to
Fuzzy Friends Rescue!

We are excited to have you here and thrilled you are interested in adopting one of our healthy and happy animals!
PLEASE ANSWER EACH QUESTION COMPLETELY AND HONESTLY.

If any information is left blank, we will be unable to review your application. If you are approved to adopt the pet you are applying for, this application will become a part of your permanent adoption file.

Please understand that not all families and dogs/cats are compatible. We make an effort to match our animals' personality traits with characteristics in which you have said you desire. Our goal is to match happy adopters with happy, healthy pets. We strive to place our animals in the best possible home for them.

Fuzzy Friends Rescue has the right to deny the adoption of any animal to anyone for any reason.

Does your home have a pool?
Is it...
If you have a pool, what safety plan do you have for the pet?

Pet Ownership
Dogs and cats can live to be in their 20's depending on the breed; given the pets current age, do you anticipate being able to care for the pet for its entire life?
If you become unable to care for this pet (due to death, severe illness, loss of income, change in living conditions, etc.) what would you do with him or her?
Have you ever adopted a pet before?
If yes, where from?
Have you ever had to give up a pet?
If yes, why?
What reasons would you give up a pet? This will help us match you with a pet that will meet your expectations. (Please note how severe the problem would have to be to lead to relinquishing the pet, i.e. vet bills over $100/$1,000/$10,000.)
