Are You Ready to Adopt?
Here's what you'll need:
- Landlord approval if you rent your home.
- All family members in to see and consent to the pet.
- Proof of current rabies vaccination/registration of any pets you have at home now.
- Identification and proof of present address (within State of Illinois).
- A veterinary appointment within 7-10 days.
- For an outdoor dog – a fenced yard and a doghouse. No dogs are adopted to be chained outside.
And, the basic rules are...
- All pets must be spayed or neutered – we don’t need anymore puppies or kittens! Plus it’s better for the animal.
- No pets as gifts – please. We have so many returned because they weren’t the right choice.
- Adopters must be at least 18 years of age.
- We adopt out only pets – no guard dogs, mousers, or barn cats.
- Only breeds of dogs suitable for our Illinois weather will be placed as outside animals. No cats will be placed into homes that allow them outside.
- It will be at least 24-hours before your new pet can go home.
Information on the adoption application will be verified.
