Thank you for your interest in our Pet Adoption Center. In order to clarify our process, please read carefully the following:
Please Please be sure to fill out the application completely. We make every effort to have the applications completed within a 48-hour period; however, incomplete applications may result in a delay in this process.
Talbot Humane reserves the right to perform inquiries into the following items, which may affect the outcome of your application: 1) criminal background; 2) veterinary history; 3) property assessment; and 4) animal control files.
The staff and volunteers of the Talbot Humane make every effort to place our animals in the home best suited for the needs of the pet and of the new family. If there is a specific animal of interest, and it is still available at the time of application approval, you would then be eligible to adopt that animal.
Approved applications are kept on file for 6-months. We recommend you frequently stop in, check by phone, or visit our website to see what animals are at our Adoption Center.
I have read the above statements and understand there are no guarantees for adoption of any animal. I acknowledge all information on this application is true and correct. I give the employees of Talbot Humane permission to verify all information, and understand that any misrepresentations or omissions of fact may result in the cancellation of my application.
