Fayette Friends of Animals

If you are interested in adopting, you will be required to fill out an adoption questionnaire and be approved before adoption can take place.  The applications are based on a scale of 1-10. If you score a 5 or below, the application is denied and if you recieve a 6 -10, you are approved. If your application is denied, we will only tell you the score you got. This may take up to 3 business days. This is for the safety of our animals.

We *generally* only adopt to homes within a two hour drive of the shelter (for the right home we may make an exception to the two hour rule, however please mapquest us before applying to be sure you can make the trip) and pets must be picked up no later than three days after approval unless arrangements are agreed upon by the shelter manager. By picking up your new pet quickly, you are giving hope to animals waiting to come into the shelter to be rescued. Delaying for your convenience only seals the doom of another pet in need.

When adopting a pet from Fayette Friends of Animals, or any other shelter, please remember: These animals are most often strays rescued off the streets. While we do our best, we cannot and do not make any guarantee as to the age, breed, health, disposition, or future size of the animal. Often times the animals do not display signs of illness until after adoption.

Please be aware, you will be required to take your new pet to the vet within two weeks of adoption. This vet visit will cost anywhere from $50 to $250! Please anticipate this cost in adopting a new friend! They may need further worming, further vaccinations, incision care, heart worm testing, flea treatment, antibiotics, or other care. Your adoption fee covers only a small part of the veterinary expenses we have incurred for your new friend.

Please Note: As a private business, we do reserve the right to deny your application for any reason!
