APR Adoption Application
All applications must be submitted with a $25 donation to Appalachian Pug Rescue, Inc. (APR).  Your donation is tax deductible.  Your application does NOT guarantee approval.  Consider this a ONE-TIME DONATION as you do not need to submit a donation if you have previously applied to adopt another APR animal, but were not selected.  Please keep in mind that just because you adore pugs not every pug fits with every family and vice versa.  Also, a denial for one animal does not mean denial for another; it just means that there was another family with a better fit.  Please make sure all family members understand and agree to adopting the animal BEFORE you apply.

Your tax-deductible donation can be submitted via the following methods:
- Paypal: appalachianpugrescue@gmail.com
- Zelle: appalachianpugrescue@gmail.com
- Venmo: @appalachianpugrescue
- CashApp: $appalachianpugrescue
- FB messenger
Please advise if you need a donation receipt.  Tax ID 88-2175325

Please be honest and specific so that APR can match the BEST match for YOUR family and the FURKID!

Do not include anyone living in your household as a reference.  Let your references know that APR will be calling them.  If we cannot reach a reference, then we cannot process your application.

An interview and home visit WILL be conducted if your application passes the screening process (preferably in person, but in some cases virtual visits are accepted).  All applicants over the age of 18 must be present for the interview.

APR reserves the right to reject any application based on information obtained during this screening process.
Please understand that our primary goal is the health, happiness, and safety of our animals.  All applicants MUST have the ability to video conference.

If you are approved to adopt an animal and all parties agree, then most Adopters will have a meet and greet with the animal before they make a final decision.  Both APR and the applicant(s) must MUST sign an adoption contract.  The contract will be sent ahead of time for review and discussion.

The annual cost for food and veterinary care for a healthy dog is approximately $600-1000.  Should there be an injury or illness, it could be more.  Before applying prepared to bear this expense.  DISCLAIMER:  The animal will be fully vetted at the time of adoption and you will receive all veterinary records.  However, at the time of adoption APR is released from liability from future disease, illness, and injury as these cannot be predicted or prevented.

The applicant(s) certify that he/she/they has never been subject to legal action for cruelty to or neglect of animals.  The applicant(s) further certifies that he/she has never owned an animal which has been confiscated by any animal control or humane organization for violations of state or local animal control regulations or animal adoption agreements.

The applicant(s) certify that all information supplied on this application is true.  Any information supplied on this application knowingly false will result in immediate denial for the animal and any subsequent animals.

The applicant(s) understands that this document is an application for consideration and not a contract for adoption.
