There’s nothing quite as classic or positively Hallmark as gifting someone a puppy for Christmas. Everything from the giant bow around their neck to the squeals of excitement from your children belong in a made for TV movie, complete with the swelling orchestration in the background and the slowly closing vignette. However, real life is much messier and so are animals, so before you commit to fulfilling your families’ dreams of owning a pet iguana, make sure you are all ready for the responsibility.

Our adoption application is rather lengthy, which may seem a little off-putting at first. However, we feel that it’s very important to find a good match between our pets and new pet parents. Therefore, we ask a lot of questions to get to know you, your family, and your current living situation. We also want to know more about the pets you already have and the plans you have for the pet you want to adopt. Here we’ll explain each of the parts on the application in a little more detail.
