Ownership Commitment
Are all adults in the household aware of and in agreement of adoption?*
Some breeds of dogs require professional grooming approx. every 8 weeks, and it can cost $100+ each time. Lack of grooming can cause serious skin problems. Are you committed to this expense?*

Do you agree to contact us in the case that you need to re-home this puppy for whatever reason?*
Are you willing to let a member of Lost Paws visit your home?*
I have read the above information carefully and have filled out this application honestly. I understand that omission of information and/or failure to answer all questions and sign the application can result in this application being declined. Also, if an omission or untruth is discovered after an adoption takes place, I understand that the rescue reserves the right to annul the adoption and reclaim the animal. I give the rescue permission to investigate the information provided, including conducting a background check, as well as contact veterinarians and related officials. I understand the adoption decision is dependent on many factors, including but not limited to the compatibility of the family and home to the individual pet, and other applications received on this pet. I understand it is the rescue's sole prerogative to decide which home is most appropriate, that my application can be denied at any time for any reason, that their decision is final and I will not contest it. It is our goal to place pets in loving, lifelong homes and any information gathered is used only to that interest.
