Socializing Your Pets

It is important for all of us to know how any pets you currently have will adapt to another being in their home. If you think it is appropriate, we would love for you to bring your pet(s) to the meet and greet. If you feel there is a better way to determine compatibility, let’s talk!

Your Initials *

I have completed this application in a truthful manner. I understand that submitting this application does not guarantee the adoption of a pet from LAFPOGCW. I also understand that being chosen for a meet and greet, does not guarantee approval for adoption either, rather these are necessary steps in the adoption process.

Finally, if you are doing a same-day possible meet/greet/adopt then please come prepared to pay the adoption fee via check or cash.

Thank you for your interest in adopting through Lost and Found Pets of Grant County, Washington!  Your support and interest is what allows us to continue with our work.

Sometimes when we rescue a dog, we have little idea of what its behavioral “quirks” may be.  Please keep a close eye on your foster friend for the first few days to be sure s/he doesn’t eat your couch, terrorize your cat, or become an Olympic high jump contender as s/he sails over your fence.
Unfortunately, we can’t be responsible if a dog damages your property or otherwise causes problems.

What we CAN do is loan you a crate, if necessary, treat for fleas and ticks prior to the dog coming to your home, and advise you to the best of our ability of what we have observed.  In addition, if there are behavioral issues that you cannot deal with, we are always willing to take the dog back.
Your form submission indicates that you understand the above, and assume the risks explained above.

If you have any questions please call us and we will talk about them.

Lost and Found Pets seeks permanent homes so I understand the foster arrangement is temporary.  Any medical or rehoming decisions will be made by Lost and Found Pets of Grant County, Wa.  I agree to notify Lost and Found Pets of any injuries such as illness, escapes, or any concerns pertaining to my foster as soon as possible.

An associate from Lost and Found Pets of Grant County, Wa will call you with any questions; likewise, we will be happy to answer any that you have.  We also will promptly notify you of your approval.
