Paws Path to Furever's Adoption Policy
When a person is interested in adopting an animal from Paws Path To Furever they fill out an adoption application. I personally speak with each interested member of the interested family. I schedule a meeting for them to meet the animal. If they are still interested I schedule a home visit. If they have other animals in the house we arrange for a meet and great with the new animal and their animals. Once all of that is completed the potential adopters would sign an adoption aggreement and pay an adoption fee.
