WhipStaff Rescue Adoption Policies
General-

We do NOT adopt out surrendered rescue animals for breeding purposes or for meat!  NO EXCEPTIONS!  All
rescue animals are to be PETS ONLY.

All prospective adopters must have an approved adoption application prior to adoption.

Owner Surrendered animals will be available for adoption immediately after their vetting is complete.  Found animals will be held a minimum of 5
days to give an owner time to reclaim them, at which time they will be vetted and offered for adoption.

Adoptions are on a first good home basis.  Once an application has been approved then the first adopter in line has the obligation to set up an
appointment to visit the animal and make sure it is a good match.  If so, they may take their pet home the same day.  We are not a boarding
facility and cannot board animals while they are waiting for adopters to retrieve them.

We provide all medical, temperament and breed information we have.  On stray/found animals, breed and age is a best estimate.  We cannot
predict the future size of young animals nor can we predict with 100% accuracy the temperament an animal will have when mature.

We reserve the right to refuse adoption.

We reserve the right to perform a home check before an animal is placed, and an on-site check up after the animal is placed to
ensure it is getting along well with it's new family and home.

Costs
-

Adoption costs are set based on many factors, not limited to species, breed, and time/medical needs while the animal has been in our rescue.  
Adoption costs are
non-negotiable and non-refundable.  Please choose your pet carefully.

Specific to Canine and Feline-

All dogs and cats adopted from our rescue must be surgically sterilized PRIOR TO ADOPTION! This is a surgery which provides much
medical benefit to your pet as well has helping to reduce the population of unwanted animals in our area. We do NOT adopt out dogs or cats
for breeding purposes.

Specific to Equines-

A letter from your equine veterinarian and farrier must be on file before adoption is finalized stating that the conditions under which the equine
will be living are safe and humane, and that any other equines on the premisis are well cared for.  
All stallions and colts, jacks and johns
must be gelded to ensure a safer companion and reduce the number of grade horses born each year.

Specific to Exotics and Small Animals-

We do not adopt out rescue animals for breeding purposes.

Policies to be amended at any time.
