My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We are pre-approving applicants. To schedule an appointment, first fill out our adoption application ( https://cb8f5fb7-0a87-40fa-8ea5-50c4da40acd3.filesusr.com/ugd/c8cb9f_8cd13866ecd54a42a2b424d2b2f8dc10.pdf ). This will ask you questions about which animal you’re interested in, your family, other furry members in the household, whether you own or rent your home and who your Veterinarian is.
These allow us to make the best match possible. We touch base with your landlord due to the unfortunate number of landlords who do not allow pets in Franklin County. Our goal with checking in with your Veterinarian is to ensure that the animals of FCAR receive the medical care they deserve. Once we have a positive reference from your landlord (if you rent) and Veterinarian, we will contact you to schedule an appointment with us! If you don't have any pets we understand you would not have a vet reference and we ask for applicants to substitute a personal reference.
Please keep in mind, appointments are first come, first serve, based on when your application is approved. Please be patient with your Veterinarian and landlord, as their staff and businesses have been affected by COVID-19 as well. We are incredibly thankful that there has been no shortage in interest! This being said, our staff is limited and we are doing our absolute best to approve applications in a timely manner. This process can take up to a few weeks, but most are approved before then.

Additional adoption info

Due to Covid our office staff hours in shelter are limited, however they are eager to help from home. We have an online adoption questionnaire to match you with your new best friend and to make the time you are in the shelter more about making that first connect than paperwork!

*To be the primary caretaker of this animal and will not sell, adopt or give said animal to another party, I will notify FCAR if the animal becomes lost or stolen or if my contact information/ address changes.
*To provide, at my own expense: adequate food, water, shelter, medical care, exercise, licensing and vaccinations in accordance with Vermont state laws.
*To not allow the animal outdoors without proper supervision, leash or harness and will adhere to all Vermont State Laws.
*To care for my new pet in a humane and patient manner and notify FCAR, or my veterinarian, immediately for guidance if my pet is showing issues of any kind.
*I understand all adoptions are final and that there are no refunds.
*To do my due diligence to work through any issues. If it becomes necessary to return the animal I will immediately notify FCAR. I understand I must make an appointment and pay a surrender fee. Only adoptable animals will be considered returnable.
*To not use my pet for experimentation purposes or as a guard animal.
