Adoption Policy
Thanks for Inquiring About Our Adoptables:
Each one of the dogs we have rescued has been fully vetted, microchipped, nursed and loved in our homes as honorary members of our volunteer foster families, We believe most of our rescued dogs have been through enough pain, heartache, neglect, abandonment and sadness in their lives before coming to us.
Therefore, We believe it is our duty to protect each dog going forward, to that end we have certain protocols in place to screen their potential homes and verify their well-being after placement, Including but not limited to an adoption application, home visit, veterinary history verification, references, proof of homeownership, home owners association pet policies, copies of leases and pet agreements, etc... These requirements are in place to protect all parties involved. (If you are chosen to adopt then we aRe all comforted knowing the best match was found).
>> It is our policy that If for any reason adopter can no longer properly care for pet, no longer wants pet, or can not keep pet for any reason, our adoption agreement stipulates we must be notified immediately and Pet must be safely brought back to us in Vermont.
