1.   If you are interested in any of our pets, please complete the adoption application.  Once completed, the form will be reviewed by the adoption committee and it will be determined whether or not the pet is a good fit.  Our goal is to always place animals in a forever home and we want to make sure you get the best match for your family.

2.   You must be at least 18 years old to adopt.  The dog must be adopted for the person completing the contract.

                          ***During the interim, we are unable to “hold” the pet for you.

4.     Dogs are only adopted into homes with completely fenced yards, invisible fence systems or secure kennels.  We never adopt into homes where the dog must be chained, tethered or tied as a means of confinement.

5.      A home visit may be required pre/post adoption. Per the adoption contract, if the adopted pet  is found chained or in less than humane conditions or if the pets health or other needs are not being met, the pet will be removed from the home.

6. Completing the Application does not guarantee an adoption.  Our goal is to place pets in forever homes and make a great match for you and your family.

About our available pets:

1. Pets in our program live in foster care until they are adopted.  We socialize and care for these animals as if they were our own personal pets. As such, we are seeking their best interest when placing them in homes.

2. All dogs are tested for heartworms, treated if necessary and kept on monthly prevention until adopted.

3. All dogs/cats receive monthly flea/tick control until adopted.

4. As per Texas Law that states all animals adopted through a rescue organization must be spayed/neutered, all of our pets are altered before they are available for adoption.  This is not negotiable.  It is the law.

5. All of our pets receive a general health and temperament screening prior to being placed in our program.  We make every effort to ensure the pet you are adopting is as healthy as possible.

6. Animals are kept current on vaccinations until adopted.  Once they are adopted, it is the new owners’ responsibility to continue vaccinations and preventions.  All records are at Southwest Texas Vet Clinic 830-278-4441
