Adoption Application Adoption Application Our goal is to place pets in permanent, loving homes. Please complete this application and contract so Alamo City Pit Bull Rescue and Rehabilitation may assist you in finding a special, compatible companion to join your family. With this information, we Alamo City Pit Bull Rescue and Rehabilitation minimize the risk of a failed adoption. We do NOT adopt dogs on a “first come, first served” basis, but rather make every attempt to match families with the most compatible pets. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DECLINE ANY APPLICATION FOR ANY REASON. The customary adoption fee for pets is $150 for dogs and $200 for medical dogs. These fees help to defray the costs of spaying/neutering, testing, vaccinating, and micro-chipping our pets, but rarely, if ever, cover all expenses. Therefore, additional contributions are welcomed. Adoption fees and donations are NOT refundable. Our dogs are heartworm tested and placed on heartworm preventative. 1 About You2 About Your Potential Pet3 About Your Home4 Pit Bull and Rescue History5 Pet Ownership History6 References7 Electronic Signature Today's Date* Date Format: MM slash DD slash YYYY Name* First Last Email* Phone Number*Address* Street Address Address Line 2 City AlabamaAlaskaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces Pacific State ZIP Code Are you at least 21 years old?* Yes No You must be 21 years old to adopt.Date of Birth*Driver's License Number and State*Employer*What are your working hours?* Name of the dog in which you are interested*Where did you see or hear about this dog?*Why do you want to adopt a dog?*Where would your pet stay while you are away?*IndoorsOutdoorsBothWhat will you do with this pet if you have to move?What will you do with the pet when you travel?*How long would the pet be left alone?
