Please provide a detailed description:

A dog may live for 10 to 15 years and will need your committed care for the dog's lifetime. Animals can be expensive to care for. The estimated annual average for one dog is $1,400 to over $3,000. Are you willing and able to provide adequate food, shelter, and medical care, including yearly check-ups and vaccinations for an adopted dog? ARVSS is not responsible for extraordinary medical costs your pet may require after the adoption.

I understand that ARVSS has the right to deny my request to adopt an animal for any situation that would be contrary to the organization's adoption policies, in violation of any state or local ordinances, or not in the best interest of the animal, as determined by ARVSS.
