Adoption Procedure
AnimalSave screens all adoption applicants to ensure the best possible animal placements.
- If you find a dog or cat you are interested in adopting, you must complete an application form and an adoption agreement.
- Due to the amount of time it takes to properly raise a puppy, AnimalSave does not adopt out puppies to families with children under five years of age.
- Adopting parent must be a responsible adult.
- Please understand that AnimalSave reserves the right to deny any adoption for any reason.
All AnimalSave animals are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines. Cats are FeLV/FIV negative and dogs are heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventative.
