Animal Adoption Applications

Home at Last Adoption Requirements & Applications

IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED AS AN ADOPTER TODAY, YOU MUST:

* Be 18 years of age or older.
* Be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide the training, medical treatment, and proper care for the animal.
* Have realistic expectations of your adopted animal.
* Have identification showing your present address.
* Have the consent of your landlord (Landlord will be contacted by a HAL representative prior to any adoptions).
* Understand that Home At Last Humane Society reserves the right to deny any adoption for any Reason.

The purpose of the application is to learn a little about your family and home so that our organization can make the best possible match for both you and our rescue animal. Our main concern is placing our animals in a compatible home with a family that will give them a LIFETIME commitment of love and proper care. This consultation process is designed to help us determine if the adoption is in the best interest of both the animal and the adopter. Please be aware that while completing this application does not bind you to adopt one of our animals, neither does it guarantee that we will place one of our animals in your home at this time.

Something to consider before filling out the application:

Some animals may need some extra time and patience to adjust to yet another new home. Some may need housetraining or other types of training, and some may just need a little extra Love and patience. All animals, regardless of their background and history, go through an adjustment period when they go to a new environment. There will be a period of a few days, weeks or in some cases months during which your new pet’s personality is emerging and growing while you get to know one another. In order to help you and your pet get through this transition period as smoothly as possible, we will help you in any way possible. Please remember that this is a stressful time for an animal and hopefully we will be able to work together to make this a lifetime relationship for you and your rescue pet. You can call on us at any time to help you in any way.

With this in mind, please click on the proper application and answer the questions honestly and thoroughly. We reserve the right to refuse adoption to anyone for any reason. A representative of our group may conduct home visits prior to or following an adoption, and our group has the right to reclaim an animal following an adoption if unsuitable home conditions, evidence of neglect, abuse or other mistreatment of the animal are found on said visit.
