Frequently Asked Questions about adoption.

About you

Name of the animal on the ABOWA website:

I understand that this application form is not a guarantee that the animal I have applied for will still be available if my application to adopt an animal is approved, as there could be several applications for this dog already in progress or the dog may have a requirement that my home does not provide.

I understand that ABOWA does not approve their animals to applicants on a "first come first serve" basis, it is the best interest of the animal that is considered in the event of multiple applications for the same animal and the home best suited to the specific needs of the animal will be selected.

In the event that the animal I have applied for is approved to another adopter before my application is processed I will select another animal from the ABOWA website and continue with my application screening.

I understand and accept that virtually all "rescued" animal will have behavioral issues of varying degrees. Many of these animals have been abused or neglected and have a tendency to be more timid and/or defensive than an animal raised from birth by a knowledgeable and responsible dog owner. I understand and accept that while all known behavioral issues will be disclosed prior to the adoption being completed, it is entirely possible that minor or major behavioral issues may arise after the adoption has occurred and the dog is in my home. I am not expecting a pre-trained animal and am willing to work with this dog to help it overcome any issues it may have, or develops while under my care.

I understand and accept that although all ABOWA animals have been evaluated by a veterinarian, and that a copy of the veterinarian's report(s) will be provided at the time of adoption, it is possible that the animal may have minor or major medical issues that are undiagnosed. I understand and accept that the approximate age of the animal is estimated by a veterinarian and may be slightly or significantly inaccurate.

I have verfied that this dog is being fostered in a location close enough for me to personally travel to, in order to adopt this animal, should I be the approved adopter.

I have thoroughly read and understand the information in the responsibilities that will come in adopting an animal with ABOWA.
