By sending this electronically, I acknowledge that I have completely read this questionnaire and comprehend it fully. I have completed this application form honestly and to the best of my ability. I understand that the omission of information and/or failure to answer all questions can result in this application being declined. Also, if an omission or untruth is discovered after an adoption takes place, I understand that Aide For Paws & Rescue Society (A4P) reserves the right to annul the adoption and reclaim the animal.

I certify that the above information is correct, and I understand that the information will be verified.

I agree to have Aide For Paws & Rescue Society complete reference call checks to my veterinarian(s), landlord & personal references, if applicable. I also agree to a home check visit on a mutually agreed date by an A4P representative before an adoption decision is made.

I understand the adoption decision is dependant on many factors, including compatibility of the family, home and lifestyle to the individual animal. I understand that the members of A4P decide which home is most appropriate for the animal and their their decision if final, therefore, I will not argue with the decision made.
