**PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY**
*I agree to the adoption fee, it varies based on the age and health needs of the pet, $250-$450 *cat adoptions are lower at $150* *Senior pets qualify for a reduced adoption fee* speak with your adoption coordinator during your phone interview about the adoption fee of the pet you're interested in
The adoption fee includes: Health examination(s), Spaying/Neutering or Spay/Neuter Contract, Wormings (age related), Distemper Combo Vaccination (number of vaccinations will be related to age & placement date), Rabies Vaccination (If older than 4 months when adopted), Heartworm Disease Test (If older than 6 months when adopted), Flea & Tick Treatment until adopted and age related. In addition, most (not all, age dependent) of our animals are microchipped (age related) and registered to PEAR.
While we strive to pair you with the pet you're interested in we often receive multiple applications for the same dog. We do not match on a "first come, first serve" basis, but rather strive to choose the adopter who is the best match for each particular pup.
Please note that our applications team is composed exclusively of volunteers who process applications in their free time. The team does their best to respond to each email, inquiry, and application in a timely manner. During this process, we encourage you to monitor your email account and your phone to ensure we are able to reach you without delay. Additionally, it will make the process move more quickly if you ensure your landlord (if applicable), veterinarian, and personal references are prepared for our calls. The longer it takes to reach them (or get a return call/email from them), the longer the application process will take.
Please allow 48 hours for us to reach out to you; within that time they are making attempts to reach your references. If at any point in the process you are concerned because you feel you haven’t been contacted in a timely manner, feel free to check in and let us know that you are still interested!
Our goal is a successful, happy, and permanent adoption that meets the needs of the dog and the adopter.
