How did you find out about our adoption program?
*
Your answer
Why are you interested in adopting from a rescue?
*
Your answer
Please read and check if you agree with the following statements:
*
I understand that a home visit is required prior to final decision and does not guarantee placement.
I CAN give an adoption fee of $400 to help cover rescue, medical care, boarding, and microchip.
If I adopt a puppy without a full round of vaccinations and spaying/neutering done due to her/his age, I agree to finish vaccinations and spay/neuter her/him at 6-8 months of age.
I agree to provide my own collar, leash, corrective collar or harness, and a personal ID tag at the time of completing the adoption contract.
I agree to give my dog all necessary vaccinations according to a vaccination schedule provided by my future vet.
Russian Dogs Rescue reserves the right to refuse adoption to any applicant for any reason. This questionnaire becomes part of our contract. Do you agree?
