Thanks so much for your interest in adopting from our group!

The information that I/we have provided is true and correct. By typing/submitting the information provided, I/we give permission to APFUG to process this application--and share the information with persons delegated to conduct the home visit on behalf of APFUG. IF YOU ARE YOUNGER THAN 21-YEARS OF AGE AND/OR STILL LIVING AT HOME WITH YOUR PARENT(S), PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR PARENT(S) NAME. If this consideration applies to you--APFUG will require permission/consent as well as a personal meeting with your entire family in order to process this application. APFUG reserves the right to refuse any applicant based on their judgment, the information provided, the home visit, and any other condition that does not seem conducive to a favorable home setting for the dog. It is our express wish that all of the dogs placed by this group are re-homed into a safe and nurturing home. In some cases, the applicant will be asked to make certain changes in their home--if the group's representative visiting the home is uncertain or hesitant about the home--an additional home visit may be scheduled. By signing this form, the applicant understands that the adoption fee is not refundable. Also, the applicant realizes that in many cases, the adoptable dogs from this group have not lived in a home. If the applicant currently owns a cat and/or small dog--they understand that efforts will be made to discern safety of the placement, but there is not a guarantee that this is 100% certain about the adopted dog's safety to live with a small animal that they could perceive as Prey.
