Online Adoption Form

Perfect Paws Rescue Group carefully screens each potential home to find the right family for each of our pets.

Every pet has a different personality, traits and needs, so we carefully screen to make sure that the home they go to can meet their needs, will be a good personality match and has a high potential as a permanent home for the pet.

Perfect Paws Rescue Group's Adoption Guidelines:

You must be 18 years of age and have a current, valid photo ID to adopt from Perfect Paws Rescue Group
You will need to have proof that all adults living in your household have knowledge of and have consented to you bringing a pet into the household.
We will conduct an interview, which will include many questions about your family, your lifestyle and your home. We will also ask you questions to be sure you understand your responsibilities and will be able to deal with any special needs the pet may have.
If you rent, you must bring a written approval from your landlord, including your landlord's full name, complete address, phone number and e-mail address.
We reserve the right to conduct an inspection of the residence where pet will live.
We ask you to provide references and reserve the right to contact those references.
You will also be required to read and sign an adoption agreement.
You will be expected to pay an Adoption Fee¹ that will be determined based in part on the age and breed of animal, as well as many other factors. We will be happy to let you know what the adoption fee is for the animal[s] you are interested in.

¹ If you are wondering why we have such strict guidelines, or charge adoption fees, please check out our Perfect Paws FAQ - where these questions - and many others we are most frequently asked - will be answered for you!
