We require an adoption application to be filled out, once approved we set a meet and greet with the whole family. We also do a home visit which provides an opportunity for the adopter to see the dog in their new environment, and allows us to review recommendations for a smooth transition for the dog and family. We then set up a Foster to Adopt for up to 2 wks, so the adopter can make sure it is a good match for both the dog and family.
Our adoption fees range from $150.00 for dogs 9 years and older, $250.00 for dogs up to 8 years old.
All adopted dogs are spayed/neutered, have appropriate vaccinations, and microchip identification. They are also tested for Heartworm and Lymes and on preventatives.
Those adopting pets from the West Jersey Volunteers for Animals are required to:
*Provide a loving home for the animal during its lifetime.
*Treat the animal with respect, affection and as a member of the family.
*Provide indoor living accommodations.
*Provide annual veterinary examinations and treat any ailments, disease or injury in a timely manner.
*Provide the animal with proper food, water, and training.
*Provide appropriate exercise, toys, companionship, mental stimulation and socialization with other animals.
*Keep identification tags on the animal at all times.
