1. First step in adopting from Shannon Farmz Animal Rescue is to fill out an adoption application and get approved to adopt from our rescue.
  2. Once the application is submitted you will get a confirmation email that we received it and we should be in touch within 72 hours from the time we receive your application. If you do not hear from us for some reason send us an email or give us a call. Sometimes there are issues with the computer, internet, or some other unforeseen complication.
  3. Once we receive you application we will put it through review and make sure you are a good fit for the animal you are wanting to adopt. If we don’t think a particular animal is a good fit we may suggest another one of our rescue kids or maybe even one from another rescue. You will get an email from us within 72 hours with an approval/disapproval for the adoption you seek from our rescue. If we are in need of more information we will email or call you directly.
  4. Once your application is approved we will set up a meet & greet at our facility for any of your current pets to meet your possible new family member. It is always better for new fur friends to meet for the first time at a new place, not your home or their territory, to see how everyone will behave on neutral ground. Your current pets will be more protective of their home to newcomers.
  5. If the meet & greet goes well we will then set up a home drop off time and date with you where we will bring your new companion to your home for a physical home visit and to finish up paperwork and payment. At the home visit we will have you sign our adoption contract that gives you full ownership of the adopted animal and obligates the adopter to return the animal to the rescue if for any reason they cannot keep or care for the animal at any future point in time. *WE WILL ALWAYS TAKE OUT ANIMALS BACK!!!

At the time of adoption our rescue kids are fully vaccinated with Rabies, Bordetella, and the annual equivalent of DAPP/DHPP. They will be spayed/neutered (exceptions made for large breed dogs who must be 12-18 months old) and microchipped, which will be fully registered to the new owner by the rescue after the 10-day adoption trial period has passed. We have a 10-day trial period, which begins following the final home visit and drop off, where if the animal is not a good fit or the adopter changes their mind they can return the animal to the rescue and get a full refund of the adoption fee. We will ALWAYS take the animal back post adoption! If the adopter is moving and can’t take the animal, the adopter can’t financially care for the animal any longer, any reason at all………WE WILL ALWAYS TAKE BACK OUT RESCUE KIDS!!!!
