Dog Adoption Application

Furry Friends Rescue, Inc.

Dog Adoption Application
Furry Friends Rescue is an all-volunteer, non-profit, animal welfare organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of stray, neglected and abused animals. Furry Friends Rescue is completely funded through fundraising efforts and public donations. All of our pets are cared for by foster homes and receive complete medical care, which includes worming, vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spaying/neutering and microchipping prior to their adoption.
This questionnaire is designed to help Furry Friends Rescue and yourself determine if a specific dog is the right one for you and your household. All adopting parties are required to complete this form prior to adoption. Furry Friends Rescue reserves the right to deny any adoption based on answers to this questionnaire and/or interviews prior to adoptions!
