To Potential Adopters of AHS Fosters

​

1. Adopters must be 18 years of age or older.

2. If you rent an apartment or your home, we will contact your landlord to confirm that the animal you want to adopt is permitted.            

3. If you have an established relationship with a veterinarian, we will call them for a reference.

4. AHS adoptable animals are to be companion pets and live indoors only. The only exception would be if we adopt out a cat designated by us as a barn or community cat.

5. We will not approve pet adoptions meant as gifts. 

6. If an adopted animal is too young to be spayed or neutered, the adopter will agree to follow through with getting their pet fixed once it weighs 4 pounds. 

7. Other animals in the home must be spayed/neutered and current on vaccinations. All pets over the age of 4 months should have a current rabies vaccination.

8. We do not hold animals for adoption; animals are adopted on a "first come, first-served" basis unless we have an approved application and paid adoption fee. 

9. If you adoption application is approved, a member of AHS will reach out to you about arranging a meeting with the animal you want to adopt. 

We reserve the right to decline an adoption application.
