Life Long Buddies's adoption process

1.

Interview

We want to talk to make sure the pet is a good match! We discuss vetting, fees, talk about energy and temperament. <24 hr return on calls

2.

Submit Application

We have an application and contract which gathers necessary information. We stand behind our pets for their lives.

3.

Meet the Pet

Meeting is the most important! It allows you a chance to see if he/she is a good fit for your lifestyle. We address basic training tips

4.

Home Check

Home Visits allow us to help the pet make the adjustment and settle in. It helps w/ other pets and also training.

Additional adoption info

We realize that adding an new family member is an adjustment for all involved. The pet will go through stages of adjustment. We make suggestions to help w/ this and we are always available for training/suggestions throughout the pets life. We'd rather know and help address any issues before a pet is surrendered back. We do always take them back (and want to be called) if it comes to this as a last resort

About Life Long Buddies

We are a new start up rescue based out of the Maryville TN/Blount county area. We focus on Mutts since this is the greatest need. We do get pure breds from time to time. We are part of the no-kill movement and believe strongly in the 11 point equation of No-Kill to help a community save vs euthanize it's pets. We have seen and experienced personally how important training and awareness is for a successful long term relationship. All of our dogs/cats are spay/neutered, heartworm checked (dogs) and on preventative and tested for fiv/felv (cats). They are tx for fleas and tics, have completed their shots, dewormed and microchipped. We are looking for homes that see a pet as a family member. We want homes that are willing to invest time and energy with a wiliness to learn and grow in relationship with that pet.

Life Long Buddies's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Maryville, TN.

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.
