Update on adoption procedures - effective May 1, 2009 Due to the increase in potential adopters submitting an application, getting approved, committing to a dog and then backing out - or simply not showing up, we are imposing the below requirements. These new requirements are in place to cover our costs that “shoppers” are costing us, please keep in mind these are living creatures in need of a home, this is not QVC. Each time that we hold a dog for an “approved” home, and turn down others, just to have that “approved” home not show up - that poor dog sits here even longer when he/she could have been in a home that actually wanted him/her. We are no longer going to permit this to continue. **A $25 processing fee must be sent before application will be “processed” - either by paypal or mail. This is for the background & reference checks - applications may be submitted, and after initial review - to determine if you are a likely candidate for one of our dogs - you will be contacted to submit the $25 fee prior to our completing your application by running our checks. **All additional fees pertaining to travel - crates/health certificates, etc - must be paid for in advance - either directly to the veterinarian/store, or to us ahead of purchase. **Dogs will not be considered “adopted” until the adoption fee is Paid In Full, this is NOT REFUNDABLE, should you not show up or choose not to adopt after committing to the dog - you forfeit the adoption fee to assist with the care of the dog while we again search for a new home. Dogs will no longer be held pending adoption. (This section does not apply should an adopter arrive and the dog/adopter simply do not get along - it is for those that simply waste our time and cost the dogs other potential homes). |
