Baywater Animal Rescue Pet Adoption Process & Application
Our Adoption Process
Please take a few moments to read the following explanations of our adoption policies and the steps that make up the process. While our system may seem complex, it is designed in
the best interest of the animal (including its health) and for the best possible chance of finding a forever home.
The upfront investment of your time in this process is worth the love of your furry family member.
The process is the same for everyone
It is NOT our intent to frustrate you,
Baywater Animal Rescue is all about the love of our animals.
STEP 1: Read and initial the following 13 items, covering the care, lifetime costs, and home requirements for our rescue animals.
All boxes must be checked before continuing to the Adoption Application.
I understand the following:
*
The animals available for adoption come here from a variety of sources. We cannot guarantee an animal’s temperament. Our Animal Care Supervisor and/or veterinarian examine all animals upon entry. Their health is routinely monitored while at the shelter but there is always a chance that an animal is incubating a disease without showing any clinical signs.
Be aware that a yearly vet exam (including heartworm prevention) can cost a minimum of $200 a year for your pet. Puppies and kittens need vaccines and worming that can cost up to $75 a month for the first four months in your care. This does not include food or toys.
All pets need routine vet care including deworming, flea and tick prevention, etc. All vet care is your financial responsibility after adoption takes place.
I understand that the falsification or omission of any of the above information will result in automatic refusal of adoption or confiscation of the adopted animal- We maintain the right to refuse any application at our discretion. We maintain the right to complete a home check. I authorize BAR to verify the validity of any information contained in this application.
I hereby agree to release, discharge, indemnify and hold harmless Baywater Animal Rescue and any of its agents from any and all liabilities that may arise out of the handling by me and/or my party.
TO BE CONSIDERED AS AN ADOPTER TODAY, please read and check each item, indicating that you agree to adhere to our practice. You must:
*
Be at least 18 years of age
Have a state-issued photo ID showed your current address and age
Have the knowledge and consent of your landlord or homeowner
Have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the household
Understand that we reserve the right to verify any information on this application, including a property verification with landlord or homeowner and vaccination history of prior or current pets, and vet references
Be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide medical treatment and proper care for a pet
Be in compliance with all state, county and municipal ordinances.
Accept that NO animal will be adopted to person having a history of losing, giving away or selling animals, or having animals injured or killed while in their care. No animal will be adopted to prospective owners who mislead or fail to provide accurate and complete information on the adoption application.
Our tax-deductible Adoption Fee includes spay/neuter, first vaccinations that are age appropriate, deworming, microchip, heartworm and fecal testing (as applicable).
