Please read the following agreement:

By submitting this application, you agree to let Charming Pet Rescue verify the information provided, as well as contact veterinarian, landlord and personal references. Adoption fees are refundable up to 7 days after finalizing adoption, except for $50, which is considered a donation. After 7 days, the whole adoption fee is considered a donation even if the animal is returned. The only exception will be in the case of a pre-existing medical condition not included in the animal's medical history.

Submitting this application is not an agreement that we will hold the animal, nor is it a commitment to adopt. Charming Pet Rescue will review all submitted applications for an animal and choose the best fit, and then go in order of submissions received. Charming Pet Rescue reserves the right to refuse any adoption we feel is not in the best interest of the animal. Omission of information and/or a failure to answer all questions may result in your application being declined. The adoption decision is dependent on many factors including features of the animal that may do better in certain situations. Unless otherwise indicated, you are welcome to reapply in the future should this application be denied.

If you decide you no longer want the animal you adopted, you MUST reach out to Charming Pet Rescue (charmingpetrescue@gmail.com), so we can reclaim our pet or assist with best options.
