Adoption Application & RequirementsAll Rights Reserved Copyright By
Yellow Brick Road Rescue & Sanctuary
2010
During the application process we may contact you by phone or e-mail to discuss or clarify information that you provided on your application. If your application is accepted we will set up an appointment for you to meet the adoptee at your home. We ask that all family members or persons living in the household as well any/all pets be present for the meeting. It is also helpful for any frequent visitors such as children friends or person responsible for caring for the dog i.e. pet sitter or dog walker to be present. Please check with your home owners insurance to be certain that the breed you are interested in is permissible into your community and that you may add this (potentially adopted) dog onto your policy. If you rent, please have your landlords permission prior to filling out the application and include that information including breed exclusions and size/wt restrictions with your request. This really helps expedite the process! : )
Please note that an application does not guarantee an adoption.
This process helps us to determine which of our available dogs will be the right fit for you and your family.
Prior to completing the Application make sure that you and your family have carefully considered the decision to adopt. Adopting a dog is a meeting of the hearts as well as of the mind. It should also be a realistic decision for your situation. Please consider your current financial, social and environmental circumstances, Realistically do you have the time required to properly exercise (and train) this dog. Also please remember that just because you like the looks of a certain breed that does not mean it is best suited for your family, circumstances or environment. You must consider the dogs inherent genetics, innate behavior and temperament for this to be the best relationship it can be.
This is a lifetime commitment!!
If you should have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us via e-mail. We have the dog's best interest in mind and we sincerely want this to be a perfect match! That means the right pet to the right family and visa versa.
If you have specific concerns i.e; is the dog good with children, cats, other dogs etc., please feel free to email those questions prior to completing the application.
