Faxon Animal Care & Adoption Center – Adoption Questionnaire
We sincerely hope we can be of service to you. We ask that you fill out your application completely and truthfully. This application is designed to help us determine if the adoption is in the animal’s best interest, and to assist you, the potential adopter in finding an animal most compatible with your lifestyle. An unwise adoption can result in an unpleasant experience for the adoptive family and may cause the pet to become unsuitable for any further adoptions. We hope you will agree that the animal’s welfare must be our foremost consideration. Thank you
