OJRR - Adoption Application

Oklahoma Jack Russell Rescue Dog Adoption Application

YOU MUST PUT AN ANSWER (EVEN N/A) IN EVERY BOX IN ORDER FOR YOUR APPLICATION TO BE ACCEPTED. Application policy: We are often asked why we do not allow people to come by and pick out a dog they like, THEN fill out the application: (1) We do not have a single facility. All our Jacks are either here at the rescue or in private foster homes learning to be wonderful companion dogs before being adopted. Much in the same way a realtor will only show homes to buyers with a pre-approval letter from a lender, we will only show dogs to folks with a pre-approved application so as not to intrude on our foster homes any more than necessary. It is the best way we know to keep our foster homes happy. Please understand this critical part of the process. (2) What if you fall in love, and then aren't approved? Awkward. (3) Once you are approved, even if we don't have what you are looking for now, you could be at the front of the line when the love of your life does arrive. (We can’t express enough how quickly our dogs are adopted, by the time you complete the application, the dog you are interested could be gone.) (4) We welcome out of state adopters who have exceptional vet references! Out of state adopters must be willing to either pick up the dog in person or to secure suitable transport (we will try to suggest some paid/unpaid options) however, if there is any cost for transport, it will be at your expense. (5) Completing an application does not obligate you to adopt from us. We specialize in helping adopters find the right Jack to add to their home, not just any dog. Some adopters have very specific requests or needs and we work with them over weeks, months and sometimes a year to find them the perfect Jack. We welcome the opportunity to assist adopters who are not in a hurry, and are more concerned about temperament/personality compatibility than age or look.
