Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.  All applications will be reviewed and approved by the board and will require a home visit and reference check before the dog will be permanently placed.  

The adoption donation of $100.00-$300.00 includes:

  • Vet checkup, fecal exam, blood work for Heartworm, Ehrlichia, Lyme test
  • Spay or Neuter

All rescued pets are adopted with the above complete according to the age and health of the dog/puppy.

We do the best we can to ensure the puppy or dog’s health. These are rescued pets and we usually know very little about their past.

Once the puppy or dog is placed in your home you will be responsible for any additional necessary medical expenses. Adoptions are as-is and we will not be held responsible for any vet bills that you may incur after the dog is placed in your home. If for any reason you are not happy with your rescued canine companion, you may return the animal to us.

I attest that all answers to the above questions are true to the best of my knowledge.

By pressing the Submit button I state, “I have read and understand this document, if I am approved to adopt from It's Meow or Never Animal Sanctuary, Inc., I agree to the above."
