Adoption Application

If you would like to adopt one of our dogs or cats please complete the application below or download one here and we will get back to you as soon as possible.  Please note that you will likely not be able to complete this form using your cell phone; if you have not heard from someone within 24 hours please email us.

This application is the first step to adopting one of our animals; after meeting the animal should you decide to adopt we do require a simple home check if you are adopting a dog and a phone interview and a face to face meeting with all family members for adopting a cat. 

In order to be considered as an adopter you must:  

  • Be 18 years of age or older.
  • Have identification showing your present address.
  • Have the knowledge and consent of your landlord, if applicable.
  • Be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide training, medical treatment and proper care for a pet.
  • Meet any requirements that are specifically for that animal (i.e. fenced yard, no kids, etc).
  • All current dogs and cats in your residence MUST be spayed/neutered, if they are not your application will be denied.

Fuzzy Pawz Rescue reserves the right to deny any applications that we deem unfit or unsuitable for the animal. Please be aware that our animal adoptions are NOT on a first come- first served basis. Our sole purpose is to find the best possible homes for the animals that fall under our care. If the representative determines that your home is not the BEST fit for the dog or cat you have applied for, you may be contacted regarding other animals that more closely match your interests, life style, and family environment, or referred to a different adoption agency.  Our goal is to find the right home for the right animal; people who are willing to provide permanent loving homes.  We want every match to be the perfect match not the quickest match.  Please make sure you have considered carefully the time and money required to own a pet before you make the decision to adopt. Owning a pet is a lifetime commitment.

We spay/neuter and vaccinate all of the dogs and cats that we place into foster care, so your newly adopted pet is ready to go!   Most of our animals are also micro-chipped for their protection.

Completion of this application does not guarantee adoption of a Fuzzy Pawz Rescue dog or cat.

    I have read the above information carefully and have filled out this application honestly. I understand that omission of information and/or failure to answer all questions and sign the application can result in this application being declined. Also, if an omission or untruth is discovered after an adoption takes place, I understand that Fuzzy Pawz Rescue (FPR) reserves the right to annul the adoption and reclaim the animal. I give FPR permission to fully investigate the information provided as well as contact veterinarians and supplied references. If the application passes this review, I agree to a home and yard visit on a mutually agreed date by a FPR volunteer before an adoption decision is made.nnIn addition, I understand the adoption decision is dependent on many factors, including but not limited to the compatibility of the family and home to the individual animal, and other applications received on this animal. I understand it is FPR's prerogative to decide which home is most appropriate and that their decision is final, and therefore I will not argue with the decision. Unless otherwise indicated by FPR, I am free to apply and undergo the application process in the future.nnI understand that unless the dog/cat was an owner-surrender, age and breed are unknown and are only estimated by the rescue group. nnIf I am selected to adopt the dog/cat listed above I will have to complete a Fuzzy Pawz Rescue adoption contract and will have to pay an adoption fee and vetting costs incurred by Fuzzy Pawz Rescue. I agree that by typing my name in the space provided below and pressing the submit button I have effectively signed this document.
