1. Applicant must be at least 21 years old.
2. Submit a fully completed application.
3. Applications that are not complete, correct, and contain falsified information will not be considered.
4. Please only apply for animals when you are ready to adopt to save time for all parties involved.
5. Provide vet references for all pets you have owned in the last 5 years.
6. Immediately notify your vet to authorize the release of your vet references.
7. For families with children under 7 years old, L & R Rescue's policy is that the dog must have a demonstrated history with small children. THIS POLICY IS FOR THE PROTECTION OF YOUR FAMILY! As a result of this policy, it may be more difficult to find a suitable dog. Unless the animal has previously lived with small children, applicants with children under 7 will not be considered.
8. If you rent, you must be willing to provide authorization from your landlord that you are approved to house a pet. The authorization must be written or verbal communication directly with the rescue in regards to weight and breed restrictions.
9. If you have current animals, they MUST be spayed/neutered. If there is a valid medical reason why they are not, we must see proof of that.
10. For out-of-area adoptions the adopter must travel here to meet and pick up the dog/cat immediately.
11. Once approved, you will have 48 hours in which to pick up your pet. If you are unable to pick up the pet within 48 hours, an additional boarding fee of $25 per day will be applied. The pet will only be held until the weekend following your approval.
Dogs available through L&R Rescue are vaccinated, heartworm tested (if old enough), dewormed, microchipped, and spayed/neutered. If the application is incomplete or contains falsified information, the applicant will no longer be considered for adoption. L&R Rescue does not notify applicants if they have been denied. We also reserve the right to remove a dog from a home if it is determined our adoption contract has been breached.
