In order to determine whether this proposed adoption is in the best interests of both you and the animal, we ask that you answer the following questions carefully and completely. We reserve the right to refuse any adoption we consider to be unsatisfactory. A refusal does not reflect on you as a person, but simply means that the pet possibly would not be suited to the circumstances that you offer. We feel that our judgment in this area must be our guide in making the adoption decision.

All adoptions must be completed in person. 4PAWS Rescue will not ship its animals. While submitting the application does not create an obligation by either the potential adopter or 4PAWS Rescue, it is the first step, and should not be taken unless the adopter plans to meet the animal. If you have questions, we can be reached by email at pawsmail or at the phone numbers listed above.
