Dog Adoption Form

Rules and Disclosures

As a potential adopter, please thoroughly read the following Rules and Disclosures. Please note that entering your name to this application signifies your acknowledgement and agreement to following Rules and Disclosures.

• * Magnificent Mutts Rescue requires all members of your family to be present at adoption.
• * Magnificent Mutts Rescue requires the purchase of a collar and leash before taking possession of the dog.
• * Any monies paid (CASH ONLY) to Magnificent Mutts Rescue are considered a donation to provide care for this and other homeless pets and are NOT REFUNDABLE.
• * Magnificent Mutts Rescue makes reasonable efforts to assure that the animal you receive is healthy. We do this by having each pet examined by our vet, and having it de-wormed and vaccinated against communicable diseases (including parvo virus, distemper and kennel cough.) Occasionally, a pet may not show symptoms of an illness until after he is adopted, as most illnesses have an incubation period of 17-21 days. This is completely unavoidable and occurs not only in shelter/rescue type settings, but also with pet stores, breeders, and any environment where there are a number of animals present at any given time. We require that your new pet be re-examined by a vet within 7 days after the adoption for yours and the pet's best interests. A voucher for a free exam with one of our participating veterinarians will be enclosed in your adoption packet. If you choose to visit a non-participating veterinarian, you will be responsible for all medical expenses incurred.
• Magnificent Mutts Rescue strives for appropriate matches of dogs and adoptive families based on assessment of the animals' temperaments (to the extent that may be judged by our representatives) as well as on careful evaluation of potential adopters and the living conditions they will be able to offer a dog.
• * Magnificent Mutts Rescue has the right to approve or deny the adoption application. This application is used as part of the adoption approval process in order to determine the best home for the animal. Not under any circumstances will any dog be used in any type of dog fighting activity or as an attack dog, nor shall it be kept with the intention of promoting aggressiveness or for breeding.
• * After completion of the adoption application form, it may take up to 72 hrs before a volunteer reviews the application.
• * If you currently have pets, Magnificent Mutts Rescue will contact your Veterinarian to confirm vaccination and spay/neuter status
• * If you rent your house or apartment, Magnificent Mutts Rescue will contact your Landlord to confirm you are allowed to have pets (and what type)
• *Temperament and personality play a significant role in being a successful emotional support animal and since puppy personalities and behaviors are unknown due to their age and development, they will not be considered for adoption for ESA applications. Approved adult dogs may be considered based upon the needs of the applicant..
• * The completion of this application does not guarantee the adoption. I understand that Magnificent Mutts Rescue will contact me if I am approved.
