Adoption Waiver

Thank you for your interest in our Pet Adoption Center.
In order to clarify our process, please carefully read the following:
Please be sure to fill out the application completely. We make every effort to have the applications completed within a 48-hour period. The process may take longer for out-of-county or incomplete applications. Any omissions or incorrect information may result in a delay in this process.
The staff and volunteers of 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.
We do not, at anytime, put animals on hold for applicants. 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 www.talbothumane.org to see what animals are at our shelter.
I have read the above statements and understand there are no guarantees for adoption of any animal.
