MEET AND GREET DESCRIPTOIN:

Once your adoption application has been approved, and all references checked, a Meet and Greet will be scheduled, if distance is not a problem.  This Meet and Greet will involve a home visit to your house with the foster parent, the animal, and an ODTR Adoption Coordinator.  The purpose of this Meet and Greet will be to see how your home would fit for the animal and to meet any pets that you already have, along with all of your household members.

This Meet and Greet is NOT acceptance of your application for the specific animal that you have requested.  There may be other potential adoptors or we may just not feel that this particular animal is right for you and your household.  The dog WILL NOT be left at your home at the conclusion of this Meet and Greet.

Once all Meet and Greets for a specific animal is complete, a review of all acceptable homes will be conducted by the ODTR Adoption Coordinators and the proper home for the animal will be approved.   You will be notified within seven (7) days after all Meet and Greets are completed as to our decision.

I understand the Meet and Greet process.   ________   (please initial) Please make sure you read and understand the following:  (Please read, understand and initial each paragraph)

We would not knowingly place an animal with a serious health condition. It may not be known if a stray or previously owned animal has been exposed to an illness or has a hidden genetic disorder.   Under these circumstances, we cannot guarantee the health of this pet. You may have veterinary expenses for basic concerns such as ear mites or intestinal parasites (worms). If your veterinarian determines a more extensive illness at initial examination, please return the pet for an adoption refund or let us help you find another pet. You may choose to keep the pet, but additional costs incurred will be your responsibility.  _________________

I understand, as previously explained, that you will be contacting my veterinarian for vaccination and health history of the pets that I currently own or have owned in the past. I release my veterinarian to provide that information to you. I am aware that if prior to placement of a pet from One Dog At A Time Rescue, my currently owned pets must be current on needed vaccines. To protect my animals at home, if they are not current, same species adoptions will require a waiting period for my own pets to gain immunities provided by the vaccines.  _____________

The information I have given in this application is correct to the best of my knowledge. I
understand that ODTR reserves the right to approve or reject this application. Applications are often approved pending current pet vaccinations, fence repairs, and landlord deposits. In fairness to the animals, the selected pet may be “held” overnight to allow for time to take care of these items. An individual animal will not be taken out of adoptable status and held for an extended period of time.     __________

If any misrepresentations have been made, One Dog at a Time Rescue reserves the right to demand the immediate return of any adopted dog back to One Dog At A Time Rescue.  ___________

One Dog At A Time Rescue, reserves the right to refuse or deny any application for any reason.  ______________

I have read and understand the Adoption Application of One Dog at a Time Rescue and agree to them.
