Adoption Application -

IF THE ANIMAL YOU ARE APPLYING TO ADOPT HAS NOT BEEN LISTED FOR ADOPTION ON OUR “ADOPTABLES” PAGE – DO NOT APPLY FOR THAT ANIMAL. YOUR APPLICATION WILL NOT BE PROCESSED

We introduce most of our pets on social media, so there’s a good chance you heard about one or saw one and want to get a “jump” on applications. Don’t. That won’t work and your application will be tossed. Please go back and re-read our adoption process on the Adoptables page. You should NEVER apply for any animal based on its “breed” or on how it looks without knowing anything else about that animal. The animal you are applying for MUST be listed on the Adoptables page of our website, and you MUST be able to click on that pet’s picture to read their entire bio, including their minimum requirements and their adoption fee. Until they are posted, they are NOT available for adoption and we are not accepting applications for them. Please apply for a pet that is currently available. They need loving homes, too.

APPLICATIONS NOT COMPLETED PROPERLY AND ENTIRELY WILL NOT BE PROCESSED!

Please read each question carefully and answer with as much detail and information as possible!

How did you hear about Pawsitive Restorations Animal Rescue?

Are you aware that adopting an animal is a commitment of time, love, care, and money to that animal for its entire lifetime, and should not be a spur of the moment decision?

Do you have a Facebook account? If so, are you willing to join a private facebook group to get additional rescue support and share updates and photos for the pet you are adopting?

RE-CHECK YOUR ANSWERS! Please take a moment to check that all information is thorough and correct. If any information is missing or incorrect, your application will not be processed. If we cannot reach your veterinarian, landlord, or your references, your application will be declined. Please ONLY apply if you are serious about taking on the LIFETIME RESPONSIBILITY OF CARING FOR A PET ANIMAL. It takes our team a lot of time to process applications and we would rather not put the time and effort into an applicant who is on the fence about adopting or not 100% committed. Have you verified that all information above is correct, and are all members of your household prepared and committed to care for this pet for its ENTIRE life?

Animal behavior can be unpredictable and sometimes out of character. Never place your hand, face, etc. toward any animal. Allow the animal to come to you first, and wait until it invites you to give attention. NEVER let young children pick up, tug on, pull on, or climb on any pet. Ever.

By entering my electronic signature below, I understand and agree that this is an application to adopt an animal and in no way transfers ownership of this (or any) animal to me, and I am under no obligation to adopt this animal. I attest that I have answered all questions truthfully on my application to adopt an animal and that if it is discovered that I have not been truthful, my application shall be declined immediately and any adoption resulting from this application may be revoked. I also understand that by signing this application, I give my veterinarian authorization to release medical/vaccine/care information to P.R.A.R. for the purpose of verification of vaccination, care and spay/neuter history. I understand that P.R.A.R. reserves the right to refuse adoption to any person/home not deemed to be a good match for the animal.

Pawsitive Restorations Animal Rescue does not adopt on a first come – first served basis. Homes are selected based on the individual animal’s needs after we have reviewed ALL applications for that animal. P.R.A.R. reserves the right to refuse adoption to any home/person/family we deem to be an unfit match for our pets.
