Furbabies Furever Homes will hereinafter be referred to as “FFH”. Adoption Fees: - The adoption fee is set at $350.00 for all sizes and breeds over 6 months old. - The adoption fee is set at $400.00 for all sizes and breeds 6 months or younger. Included in the adoption fee for dogs/puppies: - Treatments or procedures deemed necessary for the health of the dog while in the care of FFH. - Microchip -DPH Vaccines UTD. All puppies require 4 sets of vaccinations, usually done at 6, 8, 12, & 16 weeks old. Puppies adopted from FFH will have their first 2 sets of vaccinations before leaving our care. In some instances puppies may also have their 3rd or 4th vaccination prior to adoption, depending on their age & length of time in our care. Our vaccinations guard against Parvovirus, Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 - Spay/Neuter: **Dogs of age will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption** Puppies will be spayed/neutered free of charge by Weirs Veterinary Services once they reach at least 6 months of age. This will be scheduled by FFH. If you choose to schedule this surgery using a different vet clinic, $100 will be paid by FFH towards the spay/neuter bill. NOT included with the adoption fee: • City Licence • Rabies vaccination – this vaccine can’t be given until a puppy is 16 weeks or older and must be administered by a veterinarian. • Vaccination boosters – Dogs adopted from Furbabies can come back to us for their next vaccines for a charge of $25.00 per vaccine; or you can have them done at your veterinarian at full price. This service is only available to Furbabies dogs • Annual heartworm prevention • Costs for treatments/procedures for conditions that are found while in the adopter’s care ** I agree to these terms & conditions If your application is approved, we will hold the dog of your choice with a $100.00 nonrefundable deposit. This deposit will be deducted from your adoption fee.If you experience difficulties with a dog you adopt through FFH, we ask that you contact us. We will do our best to help you resolve problems and can direct you towards helpful resources. Often it will take a dog some time to settle into a new home and we will work with you through any problems and concerns you may have.If you are unable to keep the dog you have adopted through FFH, we ask that you contact us first. Within 14 days of the adoption, we will provide a credit in the amount of the adoption fee paid ($300 or $350), to be used towards the adoption of another dog from FFH. No refund credits will be given after 14 days.If for any reason you need to return your dog to us, your dog will be placed into the first appropriate foster home to become available. Once an appropriate foster home becomes available, we will contact you and make arrangements for the dog to be dropped off. Once adopted, FFH dogs may not be re-homed by the adopters or surrendered to any other pound, rescue or animal facility. If the dog has been placed without consent from FFH, the rescue reserves the right to repossess the dog.All dogs adopted through FFH are adopted with full disclosure of any known health conditions. Any vet costs incurred over and above those included in the adoption fee, after the adoption, are the full responsibility of the adopters except in extenuating circumstances.The life experiences of adult dogs can affect their behavior, even after adopted into a good home. FFH typically does not know the life experiences of adult dogs. It often takes dogs several days to settle into a new environment. Adopters need to be patient with new dogs and give them time to transition. FFH reserves the right to repossess a dog at any time if we believe the dog is being mistreated, kept outside in harsh weather conditions or for extended periods of time, the adopter refuses to comply with Adoption Contract policies, or if a dog is not being cared for as per the Animal Protection Act of Alberta -http://www.qp.alberta.ca/documents/acts/a41.pdf FALSIFIED INFORMATION WILL LEAD TO AUTOMATIC REJECTION OF THE APPLICATION. FURBABIES FUREVER HOMES RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY APPLICATION. “I understand that Furbabies Furever Homes is not able to guarantee the health, history, age, breed, or behavior of any dog and it’s my responsibility to see and evaluate the dog for myself before agreeing to adoption. The adoption of a dog should not be impulsive, but rather a carefully thought out decision which will ensure a loving, lasting relationship.” ** I agree to these terms & conditions Please type your full name to acknowledge you have completed this application to the best of your ability* CAPTCHA
