ALL adopters must be 21 years of age.
WE DO NOT ALLOW OUTDOOR CATS. IF YOU CURRENTLY OWN OUTDOOR CATS OR INTEND ON ADOPTING A CAT FOR AN INDOOR/OUTDOOR OR OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE, YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE DENIED.
All animals in your home (previous animals included) must be spayed / neutered, up-to-date on CORE required vaccines as well as being on heartworm prevention. Flea and tick prevention are highly recommended. Those who do not own their own home will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Most dogs are NOT candidates for apartment living and thus will rarely be approved. All adopters must provide proof of home ownership (property tax statement, mortgage statement, deed etc.). Owned condominiums require proof of Home Owners Association rules and regulations regarding pets and may not be approved or appropriate for every dog. Please note: we believe in FOREVER not WHENEVER! Fenced in yards are not required across the board but some dogs will require a physical fence and it will say in their profile.
