ࡱ> []Z 2bjbj 4bcc*IIIII]]]]tL]>LiiiiDDD2444444,`IDDDDD`IIiiuDXIiIi2D2~V,|0IIzIDDD``DDDDDDDIDDDDDDDDD; :   Adoption/Foster Application Important Information 1. Are You Ready? Respect AGSDR volunteers time - be ready to adopt within 2 weeks after you apply. Let us know if you adopt elsewhere so that AGSDR volunteers can maximize the time they spend on rescue. 2. Timeframe. The time to process an application is normally 7 -14 days. It can be longer if volunteer availability is limited (for instance, over holidays and summer vacations) or if your application presents unique circumstances. 3. Settle-In Period. Plan ahead - the first few weeks with your adopted dog will be very challenging. Do not expect your new dog to follow your rules, or understand your family dynamics, for several weeks or even months. Be prepared to go to Dog Training classes. 4. How To Submit this Application: If you do not follow these instructions, AGSDR will not be able to process your application. Please fill out all sections of the form, save the document as a Microsoft Word Document with the extension .doc (Not a Vista document with the extension .docx because we cant open those!). Email the document to  HYPERLINK "mailto:adoptapp5543@yahoo.com" adoptapp5543@yahoo.com .

The Truth About Cats and Dogs: If you own a cat or small dog, is it accustomed to being around very large dogs? Does your cat or small dog have a safe place if it needs to escape from the GSD? What will you do if your adopted GSD hurts your cat or small dog? The Health of Your Pets Fun Facts about Routine Health Care Costs: 1. Heartworm Preventative costs approximately $150 per dog per year. 2. The average cost of an annual physical exam and vaccinations is $100-$200 per dog per year. 3. Other costly items include flea medications, pain medications, and emergency veterinary needs. 4. Teethcleaning can cost between $400 and $600 due to the anesthesia costs. Are you aware of the cost of routine veterinary care? Are you willing to provide routine veterinary care for your adopted dog? Are you familiar with heartworms and do you know they can kill dogs and cats? If not, please read the info from the American Heartworm Society.at  HYPERLINK "http://www.heartwormsociety.org/article.asp?id=17" http://www.heartwormsociety.org/article.asp?id=17 Family Dynamics Number of Adults: Number of Children: Children Ages: Any other people living with you (room mates, extended family, elderly parents, fianc, etc.)? Have you and your household residents educated yourselves about German Shepherd Dogs? Tell us about what you've learned: Describe your life (quiet, active, social, busy, strict, casual, kid-friendly, high-style, neat-as-a-pin, organized, kid-taxi-service, athletic, flexible, etc.) Do you intend to keep the dog primarily indoors or outdoors? Please elaborate: Do you have any comments that will help us in approving your application? Notices: 1. Adopting a Specific Dog. AGSDR does not hold dogs so Yes, someone else might adopt the dog you are interested in before you have a chance to visit it. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, we place dogs in homes that seem to be a good match. 2. AGSDR has "veto rights". If AGSDR does not believe a dog is a good fit for a family, foster homes have the right to veto the adoption of their foster dog to any approved adopter. 3. Other Adoption Information. a. Applicants must visit the dog before an adoption can take place, and patting a dog for a few minutes at a Meet & Greet is not a visit. b. AGSDR dogs do not fly on commercial airliners, so we will not ship a dog to you. Out of state applicants must come to us to meet and possibly adopt the dog, and drive it home or fly it home in the passenger compartment of a private aircraft. If the adoption doesnt work out the adopter is under contract to drive the dog back to AGSDR. c. AGSDR dogs do not ride in the back of pickup trucks unless they are in a secure crate, the crate is securely attached to the truck, there is adequate shade secured over the crate, and an unspillable water bowl is filled inside the crate.

Application Processing Steps: Rent/Lease? - We need your landlord letter first! Own aCondo or Townhome? - We need your HOAletter first! 1. Vet Check - Please immediately authorize your vet to release information to AGSDR. 2. Reference Check - Please notify your references that AGSDR will be calling! 3. Home Visit Yes, someone will visit you, this is a step for ALL applicants. 4. Dog Visits If you are approved, your coordinator will put you in touch with foster families. 5. Contract Adoption Contracts will be executed for all adoptions. Read before you sign! 6. Fee The fee to adopt is a minimum adoption fee of $300 for all dogs 1 year and older. For puppies there is a $350 minimum adoption fee, but additional donations to help defray the cost of saving dogs are welcome. Rescuing a dog costs a lot (shelter fee, spay/neuter, vaccinations, antibiotics, stomach worm treatment, Immiticide heartworm treatment, Ivermectin heartworm preventative medication, mange treatment, microchip, food, tags, professional training, kenneling, transportation, etc.). AGSDR spends between $300 and $800 per dog, depending on the condition of the dog when it arrives. Copyright 2007 Austin German Shepherd Dog Rescue. All rights reserved.
