ADOPTION PROCESS
The adoption process begins with filling out and submitting our online application, followed by,once approved, by our FINAL adoption application.
Click here to download our application. Email completed application to fosca.adoptions@gmail.com
Submitting an application does not guarantee that you will be able to adopt from us.
Then the applicant is interviewed and observed interacting with the pet of their choice. If all steps are approved, then fees are discussed.
When fees are paid and appropriate paperwork signed and processed, the adoption is complete.
All FEES ARE PAYABLE IN CASH.
We do NOT hold any animal unless the adoption process is completed and the adoption fee has been paid in full.
ADOPTION FEE
Adoption fees are required and non-refundable. Adoption fees vary according to the animal's breed, age, species, and/or the expenses involved. Typically the fee covers only a small portion of the vet expenses such is vet exam, fecal, worming, vaccination current to age, heart-worm test, heart-worm prevention, flea bath, flea prevention, grooming, food, spay or neuter laser surgery and any medical expenses, if needed, up to the day of the adoption.
We consider our Adoption Fees very reasonable considering all that has been done to the animal while in our care. The altering alone, at a full service vet, would cost approximately $100 to $150 and more! We try to do whatever it takes to insure you are adopting the healthiest animal possible.
We certainly don't make money finding homes for abandoned animals. What money we might save, if any, on one animal is put towards another animal whose medical needs go way beyond our asked adoption fee. Some of our rescues nearly cost us $500 or more per animal, yet when that animal does find a home, we only request the regular donation fee. Please understand that your donation is not for ONE particular animal, but a donation to a non-profit organization that assists many animals in need. WE can only keep doing what we are doing IF we keep getting your donations and adoption fees.
