We
know that
you are excited about welcoming your new pet home.
Please
be aware that the adoption process may
take several days to complete.
We
DO check
references, and we DO contact landlords to verify that your new pet
will be allowed
on their property.
We
do NOT operate
on a first-come, first-serve basis. Our
concern for the animals we care for leads us to prioritize finding the
best fit
between the animal and the adopting family.
You
must be willing and able to:
1) Take the time needed for the proper care and training of your new
pet.
2)
Properly
feed and maintain the health of your new pet, including regular
vaccinations
and medical treatment when necessary.
3) Care
for your new pet for its ENTIRE lifetime, making sure that your
commitment will
be steady through any changes in your
lifestyle or circumstances.
4) Return
your animal to RCHS if it becomes impossible for you to meet the
obligations
above.
An
RCHS
representative will follow up by e-mail or telephone a few weeks after
the adoption
to be certain both you and your new pet are doing well.
We
put the
above policies and procedures in place because we care about our foster
animals
and we care about YOU. We want to do
everything we can to make sure you will have a happy life together.
