Here is how the adoption process works.
If we receive more then one application on a single animal we will process the applications in the order of date received. Taking one application at a time to insure we use our resources to the best effect.
When we get a completed application, we will make reference calls to your vet, landlord, personal references you listed and any other calls that are required.
We will set up a home visit. Or if that isn't possible we will ask for photos of the areas that we check when we do a home visit.
If an adoption doesn't go through, we will go to the next application, an so on.
We have had as many as 40 applications on one puppy, it took 4 meet and greets to get the puppy placed in the right home.
Our basic requirements:
Our policy is that all dogs have to be members of the family. NO "Outdoor" dogs or dogs that will be sleeping in the garage or in a kennel.
A secure fenced yard is a requirement, unless other wise stated on the dogs posting.
We will not adopt a dog that has been labeled "No children or No other dogs" to a family that has children or other dogs, no acceptations.
If renting your residence we must have written permission from the landlord.
For some breeds of dogs we will need written permission from your HOA/Landlord stating that they are aware of the breed of the puppy/dog being adopted, and will allow it on the property.
If there is a pet deposit that needs to be paid to the landlord we require proof that it has been paid.
The person that is adopting MUST be signatory to the lease in question. No exceptions.
If you live in Belgrade, Manhattan or any other city that has a limit on the number of dogs allowed and requires a kennel license for additional pets, and your household is at the limit, we will require proof of a kennel license.
You must be old enough to legally sign a contract. 18 yrs of age in the State of Montana.
We do not adopt dogs to be given to others as gifts.
We will be showing preference to homes/owners that have had similar or same breed dogs in the past. (This applies especially, to larger breed dogs like Shepard, chow, pitty's, hounds, etc)
All puppy adoptions are conditional to the puppy being spayed or neutered by age 6 mos.
Our adoption fee donation for dogs/puppies is currently $200.00. This fee helps off set our cost of least two vet checks, de-worming treatment(s), first vaccinations (Distemper + 5 at 6 weeks), spay or neuter at our Clinic only, micro-chipping, medicines, special diets (formula for bottle babies, etc.) and any transportation that was needed while in our rescue.
We also have all our dogs evaluated by a professional trainer or animal behaviorist.
Any Donated Funds provided over the adoption fee goes directly to the Emergency Medical Fund for the dogs in our care.
All dogs over 6 mos of age will be spayed or neutered prior to adoption. No Exceptions.
Puppies that are too two small (under 2 lbs) will have conditional contract adoptions.
For convenience a new owner may choose to have their new puppy spayed or neutered by their personal vet that their own cost. And provide proof of spay/neuter to Tiny Tails for our records by age 6 months.
A contract must be signed in order to adopt from Tiny Tails.
We check in on our animals to make sure that the terms of the contract are not violated.
Some HOA's, have breed restrictions and some County, city and townships have restrictions on the number of dogs you can have on your property. We do our best to abide by the local and HOA restrictions that your home falls under. Please obtain the proper paper work ie. Kennel License if it is required prior to filling out your application to adopted from Tiny Tails. It is heart breaking to have a great home that we have to deny due to HOA or City restrictions.
Tiny Tails retains the right to refuse services or to anyone.
Tiny Tails has an Attorney that will be happy to deal with any legal questions you may have. We will be happy to put you in touch if asked.
