Adoption Requirements and Policies

1. We adopt to indoor homes only.
2. A secure and appropriate fence is a must - No exceptions!
(No underground fencing, open faced farm fencing, split rail, etc.)
3. You must have an excellent vet reference with records of two or more years available.
4. All other furkids in your care must be spayed/neutered and up to date on all vet required vaccinations.
5. Homes with other furkids are considered individually, based on the breed, temperament, personality, and placement needs.
6. We do not adopt into families with small children.
7. Our fosters are NEVER allowed to leave our care before they are spayed/neutered. Please do not ask!
8. A home visit by a Little Feet representative is required before an adoption can be finalized.
9. We do not ship or transport our kids to their new forever homes. You must be willing to travel their foster homes so they can be placed directly from their foster mom's arms into yours.
10. A binding and notarized adoption contract must be signed before any foster will be allowed to leave foster care.

*Because some of our fosters have special placement needs you will often see adoption restrictions set for individual fosters based on their particular needs. Special placement needs kids spend a minimum of six weeks in foster care where their needs are assessed. Special Needs restrictions are set by agreement of no less than three experienced foster moms and can not be waived.

*Some of our fosters will require breed experience. This means that you personally, in you own home, have been responsible for the daily care and medical, social, and emotional well being of another furkid of this breed for the number of years stated in their bio.

*Some of our kids will posted as needing to be an “only child”. If you have family members, neighbors, etc., who visit your home with their furkids, please disclose this when you make an inquiry. This will allow us to discus our foster’s personality with you before you fill out an application. On occasion, we may have fosters that should not be exposed to other animals due to unsocial natures.

Adoption Fees.

Our adoption fees vary and are based on the reimbursement of veterinarian/medical care including spay/neuter, all required vaccinations, heartworm testing, fecal exam, and dental (if needed). On average, these cost are in the $95.00 to $250.00 range.

There are however, exceptions to these fees:
1. In cases where continuous, lifelong medical care will be required, our Board of Directors will take into consideration ongoing costs of care, making adjustments to adoption fees.
2. Some of our kids may have a sponsor pledging a portion of a foster’s adoption fee.
3. When a furKid in our care came into rescue with all medical needs previously met, we ask that you make a minimum $75.00 donation to be used toward the care of those who are not so fortunate.
