We do not as a matter of policy adopt dogs to homes whose pets have not been kept current on vaccines and preventatives or that have pets not spayed/neutered. We understand there may be exceptions to this rule which will require explanation. By way of example, veterinarians sometimes recommend not re-vaccinating immune compromised dogs and elderly dogs with significant health issues. We understand that and will confirm with your vet. Spay/neuter is extremely important to us and the circumstances in which an unaltered pet would be acceptable are limited. It is important that you keep your pet(s) up to date on vaccines and use heartworm preventatives year-round and we check it with your vet, so if you buy your heartworm prevention or flea and tick protection from someone other than your vet, please let us know. We accept current titer testing records in lieu of some vaccinations. Please make sure your vet has permission to release this information to us.

Authorization

Authorization:*

Thank you for applying to adopt from Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. We will be emailing you regarding your application, so be sure to check your email and spam as well as answer phone calls from unknown numbers while we work on processing your application. Please keep in mind we are all volunteers and many of us have full-time jobs, so it may take time to process your application.

Please read the following paragraphs, sign and date your application, and click "SUBMIT" below.

Filing of this application in no way guarantees your adoption of a cat from Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. Foster homes always have first right of refusal on the cats in their care for obvious reasons. We generally do not list cats for adoption until the foster home has decided not to adopt. We also adopt on a best home, first in line standard. If two equal applications come in simultaneously, the first commitment will be given preference.

By typing your name into the signature block below, your application attests that the information you have given is accurate and true and also gives your current and past veterinarian permission to provide all information requested by us in regard to medical and preventative care they provided to any current and past pets. You also give permission to perform background checks on adults in the home to ensure that the applicant is a suitable adopter for a pet and does not have a history of animal abuse/neglect or other such offenses. The information contained in this application is material to our decision to place a cat into a home and becomes part of the contract in the event you adopt a cat from Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. In the event you adopt a cat, you are agreeing here that the terms of the adoption contract are fully applicable even should you fail to sign the final adoption contract. The adoption contract is online and can be reviewed HERE.

After you hit the submit button, please watch your email and spam folders. Our team will contact you via email.
