Pet Adoption Application Form

Dog Adoption Application, Contract and Waiver

Prior to filling out our application, please note that we will do a veterinary reference check prior to a phone interview to ensure potential adopter's previous/current pets are spay/neutered, current on vaccines and annual exams. In order for All Creatures to do the veterinary check, please call your veterinarian to give consent to release the information to us prior to submitting your application.

All adopters must live within 500 miles of Lacona, NY. We will not ship pets and all family members, including dogs, must travel to the adoption to be sure the pets and family are good with the potential new adoption. For local adopters, home visits are arranged at times to make the meet and greet more accessible.

Name of Dog You Wish to Adopt

I have read the dogs full profile on Petfinder or Facebook and meet the listed requirements or criteria listed in the profile. Please Initial confirming

If the dog you listed is no longer available are you open to others that we feel may be a good match?

Are you located within 1 hour of Adams, NY (foster to adopt applicants ONLY). This will be noted in pets profile if the pet is looking for a "foster to adopt" and needs to be within the 1 hour radius.

When will you be ready to adopt? **Please note we will not hold pets for more than a few days after applications have been approved. If you are looking to adopt more than 1 week in the future please submit closer to that time**

Do you have any trips away from home for more than 24 hours coming up in the next month?
