To Potential Adopters 

​

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

2. We reserve the right to contact the landlord for renters. **            

3. We will ask permission to contact your veterinarian for a reference. We will call them!

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. 

**If you rent an apartment or your home, we will be calling your landlord. This prevents the return of animals that are not permitted in rentals.

*We reserve the right to decline an adoption application.

​​​

The adoption fee for qualified applications is $50 per animal. This is a non-refundable fee that helps offset the costs of our foster program. 

​

Kittens or puppies that are adopted from AHS and have not yet been spayed or neutered require an additional deposit of $100.  Once we receive proof of their completed spay/neuter, we will refund the deposit amount, less any charges we incur for the spay/neuter (e.g., having them fixed via one of our monthly transports; we refund the difference between what Foothills charges us, and the $100 deposit). 

​

 

Costs of vet office visits and vaccinations are the responsibility of the new pet owner. ​
