It is my intention to integrate any animal I may adopt into my home and life as a pet and companion. I understand that adoption entails a commitment to provide responsibly for the pet's needs for the rest of its life. I am over age 18 and I am ready to make this commitment. *

Please read and initial

I am aware that pets adopted from St. Francis Rescue Nacogdoches are current on all vaccinations at the time of adoption, and that they and all other pets in the adopter's home must be kept current on vaccinations. *

Please read and initial

I am aware that my pet may live 15 or more years; that a pet’s basic needs alone cost hundreds of dollars per year; that my pet will require time each day for training, grooming, exercise, and interaction. *

Please read and initial

I am aware that if at any time for any reason I am unable or unwilling to care properly for this pet, I am to return him/her to SFRN. Under no circumstances will I give away or sell this pet. *

Please read and initial

I am aware that all pets adopted from SFRN must be spayed or neutered, and that all other pets in the adopter’s home must also be spayed or neutered. *
