An application form MUST be completed in full before any meet and greets are to take place

Approved applicants will be contacted and invited for a 'Meet & Greet' with the animal and their carer present. Applicants must bring their current dog along to the meet and greet if meeting another dog/puppy, this is to ensure everyone gets along before commencing adoption - therefore we do not facilitate interstate adoptions at this time. We would like as many household members as possible to be available for the meet and greet, again, to determine that the animal and humans are the best possible fit.

Please note: The animal MUST NOT be taken on the day of the meet and greet unless PRIOR ARRANGED (travelling over a 2 hr round trip). If a prior arrangement is made, an Adoption Contract must be signed in full and payment must be cleared in the rescues bank account before collection of the pet will be permitted.

A yard check will then be completed to ensure the home is the best possible fit for the animal before approval will be considered. In cases where potential adopters may live more than 2 hours away, yard photos of all outdoor areas will suffice

A 14 day trial period commences once the animal has been collected from the foster carer. If for any reason the animal needs to be returned to the rescue organisation, the adoption fee minus a $50 non-refundable deposit will be refunded to you via bank transfer if the animal is returned within the 14 day trial period. If the animal is returned after the trial period, no refund will be made.

Adoption is finalized after 14 days and paperwork, including the Microchip Change of Ownership form, is then sent via email.

FLAR animals will be desexed before adoption and this is NON NEGOTIABLE.

ANIMALS UNDER 6 MONTHS OF AGE:
Animals who are under 6 months old at the time of adoption will be desexed at a later date with these costs included in the adoption fee payable at the time of adoption.

A desexing agreement must be signed at time of adoption and a FULLY REFUNDABLE $200 DEPOSIT IN ADDITION TO THE ADVERTISED ADOPTION FEE MUST be paid in full at the time of adoption. This will then be refunded to your nominated account AFTER you have presented the animal to our APPROVED vet for desexing. Deposits will be returned once the animal has been desexed and not prior. You will be contacted once the animal reaches 6 months of age by a representative from the rescue advising you of appointment details. Bookings for desexing are NOT to be made by adopters without prior approval from the rescue.
