Do you have a current veterinarian other than Carolina Beach Animal Hospital or College Road Animal Hospital? *

If not, please list two personal references

Do you currently have pets? *
Have you ever relinquished ownership of an animal to another person or to a shelter? *
Do you understand that this animal is up to date on vaccines/heartworm prevention/flea control and has tested negative for heartworms (dogs) and Feline Leukemia/FIV (cats) as of the date of the adoption? Any future vaccines (puppy/kitten boosters, etc.), Heartworm Prevention/Heartworm Tests, FELV/FIV retesting, Flea Control, medical care, etc., is your financial responsibility. Due to the latent process of infection, our veterinarians recommend this pet be retested for heartworms (for dogs) or Feline Leukemia/FIV (for cats) six months after adoption. *
It is the goal of Carolina Beach Animal Hospital and College Road Animal Hospital to provide healthy animals at the time of adoption. Do you understand that we cannot make any claims or guarantees about future temperament and health of the animal, and any comments made are based on information obtained while the animal has been in our care? *
Are you willing to commit not only yourself, your energy and your time, but also your finances to this pet for their lifetime? *
Are you aware of the $100 (feline) or $150 (canine) NON-REFUNDABLE adoption fee, and prepared to make that payment? *
I affirm that all the information above is true. I realize that this is a lifetime commitment and will endeavor to give this pet a happy and healthy home. I understand that if for any reason in the future I must find a new home for the animal I have adopted I will contact Carolina Beach Animal Hospital or College Road Animal Hospital to advise them first before taking action. *
