Volunteers at Forte Animal Rescue will work with
you to identify your interests and needs in regards
to a companion animal that would be suitable for your
home. Our Adoption Questionnaire (PDF) for Dogs or Cats covers
most of the issues which we have found relevant to
helping you find your new companion and smooth the
transition for both of you. |

After reading your questionnaire, one of our volunteers
may make suggestions as to which animals may be best
suited to you and your lifestyle and make an arrangement
for you to meet them at our Weekend Adoptions or in
their foster homes to get to know each other. |

If you fall in love on the spot, please make sure
you have read the "Before You
Adopt" section because this is a big, and important
decision, not just for the human involved, but also
for the companion animal. We can then proceed with the
next stop of the adoption process which is commonly
called the "Home
Safety-Check" |

An Adoption Fee is
required along with a signed adoption agreement, which
ensures that if, for any reason, you are unable to
keep the animal, he/she is to be returned to Forte
Animal Rescue only. |

Finally, we personally deliver your new family member
to your home. |
Forte Animal Rescue reserves the right
to cancel the adoption process at any time if the home situation
or adoptive family has been misrepresented, if certain information
was withheld, or if the animal is determined
