Pet Adoption Application
Matching animals to homes: household, experience, expectations, and commitment.
7 questions · 1 page · about 4 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start
Adoption screening protects animals from well-meaning mismatches. This application maps the home honestly: household composition and other pets, experience with the species, daily time available, housing situation, and the expectation questions – exercise, costs, behaviour work – that predict returns when unasked.
The what-would-make-you-return-a-pet question, asked plainly, is the screen that matters: honest answers enable honest matching, and the question's presence signals the shelter takes forever-homes seriously.
