The Mutty Misfits Dog Adoption Application

The Mutty Misfits Dog Adoption Application
The Mutty Misfits is an all-volunteer, non-profit, animal welfare organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of stray, neglected or abused dogs. The Mutty Misfits is completely funded through fundraising efforts and public donations. All of our dogs are cared for by foster homes and receive complete medical care. Which can include deworming, vaccinations, monthly heartworm and flea & tick preventatives, spaying/neutering and microchipping prior to their adoption should they be old enough. When it comes to puppies they will receive all of their age appropriate vaccines and remain current. If a puppy is adopted prior to vetting completion the adopter will work with the rescue to complete their vaccine series and alter at age appropriate time. Please note puppies are not available for adoption until they are at least 8 weeks old and have been cleared by our vet.
This questionnaire is designed to help The Mutty Misfits and yourself determine if a specific dog is the right one for you and your household. All adopting parties are required to complete this form prior to adoption. The Mutty Misfits reserves the right to deny any adoption based on answers to this questionnaire and/or interviews prior to adoptions! Our adoption fee of $300 is due at the time of adoption and non refundable.
