I certify that to the best of my knowledge, all the above information is true. I understand Pets Return Home reserves the right to deny the adoption of any dog.

I acknowledge that information regarding the breed, history, health, and behavior of adopted animals may not always be available and accurate.

I acknowledge that failure to complete this form in its entirety and/or knowingly omitting pertinent information may cause my application to be declined.

I acknowledge that this application is required in order to adopt a dog(s) from Pets Return Home but that by submitting the completed application is not a guarantee that my Adoption Application will be approved; it is merely the first step in the adoption process.

I acknowledge that Pets Return Home is a group run exclusively by volunteers who donate their spare time, and, as such, the adoption process may take more than one to two weeks to complete.

I acknowledge that once personal and veterinary references are approved, a home visit with a Pets Return Home volunteer is mandatory in order for me to be approved to adopt a dog from Pets Return Home.

I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to be aware of and abide by state and county laws associated with dogs, as well as the adoption of Northern Breed and/or Wolfdog hybrids.
