Hermitage Animal Relief Team's adoption process
Additional adoption info
ALL adopters must first be approved through our application (which is available online or in hard copy in person). The application asks a series of questions about the adopters' lifestyle, plans for the dog(s) etc. Once an application is approved, we will set up a meet-n-greet with the family (other pets included). If all goes well, we will do a home check and finalize the adoption. This means signing our adoption contract, paying the adoption fee, and handing over the animal's paperwork. We do allow a 1-week trial to ensure the dog(s) and the family are a good match. On the rare occasion that a dog is returned within the 1-week trial period, the adoption fee is refundable. ALL of our dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. In the event that an pup is too young to be fixed at the time of adoption or is undergoing treatment for a health condition, that falls under the "foster-to-adopt" category, meaning, the dog can live with them, but the adoption isn't final until surgery/age appropriate vaccinations are complete. On top of vetting, we also chip all dogs prior to adoption.
Adoption fees vary from $150-$350 depending on several factors including vetting costs, type of dog, etc.

About Hermitage Animal Relief Team
We are a small rescue comprised of four founders and a handful of generous volunteers. The co-founders met when we were volunteers in various rescue efforts around Nashville and we became close friends. Our suburban community just outside of Nashville has an alarming overpopulation of dogs and cats. We are doing our part to get those dogs healthy, vetted, trained and find them loving homes where they can thrive. We also offer a pet assistance program to people struggling to provide for their animals. We will help with food/supplies and basic vetting for residents of select ZIP codes. Visit the "Get Help" tab on our website for more info (www.harttn.org). HART believes in empowering the community to better care for pets and prevent the overcrowding of our metro shelter. We push spay/neuter and rescue in everything we do!

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
