Arrow's Heart Animal Rescue

Adoption Policies & Procedures Adoption Procedures The best way to adopt an animal from our rescue is to email us and let us know that you are interested in adoption. This is a good time to ask any question you may have about the animal(s) you are interested in. We will then tell you the best way to meet the animal you are interested in. In most cases this will involve coming to one of our adoption events where you are able to meet the animal(s) you are interested in. You will also be able to meet with the foster home and ask more questions. It is important that you and your family are informed about the animal(s) you are interested in. This includes the breed and personality of the animal. If you feel a connection with one of the animal(s) you are interested in we will then have you fill out a pre-adoption questionnaire (below). If the animal, you and your family seem to be a good match you will be able to adopt the animal. (Most bully breeds adopted from our rescue will require a home visit before an adoption can be finalized). You will then have to fill out our contract (below). After adoption we encourage any questions you may have and we would also love to hear about how your new pet is doing.
