Friends of Noah-WI

Adoption Policies Please note, as a volunteer organization, it does take some time to go through the approval process. As a part of the approval process we may: ● Verify home ownership or get approval from your landlord. ● We check on a working relationship with your veterinarian. ● Complete a home check. We will require: 1. that all adults living in the household have given their consent to adopt an animal; 2. that you have a valid ID with a current address; 3. that you are at least 18 years of age;. 4. that all pets currently in your home are current on shots, spayed/neutered, must be annually heartworm tested, and kept on heartworm preventatives year round'; PROCESS DETAILS ● Application Review: Your application will be reviewed. We try our best to respond to all applicants; however, due to the sheer volume of applications received it is not always possible. If your application is denied, we may not specify why an application is denied and/or which criteria were not met. ● Home-Based Meet & Greet: After the application has been approved, a Home-Based Meet & Greet may be completed by a Friends of Noah representative. This is to provide the opportunity for the animal and the adopter to interact in a home-based environment and make sure it’s a good fit for both the animal and the new family. ● Contract and Paperwork: If the meet and greet goes well and is deemed a good fit, we will move forward with the adoption contract. You will be given a copy of the adoption contract, as well as all appropriate veterinary records. ● Adoption Donation/Fee: Friends of Noah incurs significant expenses to rescue each animal in our care. When you adopt a pet from Friends of Noah, your donation/fee not only goes toward the care of your adoptive animal but helps to make it possible for us to further our mission of rescuing other animals and placing them into forever homes. Adoption donations/fees can be made with cash or check only.
