ADOPTION RULES

Animals that are picked up as strays, are held for 5 days before becoming available for adoption, to allow time for the owner to claim them. If you see an animal at the shelter that you are interested in, but it is still within the 5 day waiting period, you can pay a $20 (non-refundable) deposit to have priority in adoption, when the waiting period expires. If you adopt the animal, the $20 deposit will go toward the adoption fee.

Prospective adopters must complete and sign an ADOPTION APPLICATION FORM. They must also be interviewed in person to determine suitability. TCRAS reserves the right to make pre-adoption and/or follow up phone calls and/or visits to ensure the suitability of placements. TCRAS will make post adoption phone calls. In the case of an out of area/state inquire, TCRAS will contact a rescue group in that area and ask for a home check. Once approved, transportation must be arranged by the adopter. Puppies and kittens under four months old cannot be flown to their new home. We do our best to find a good match between people and pets, but if a placement does not appear to be suitable, the pet must be returned to the shelter. If an animal is returned within two weeks, the adopter can receive a full refund. The animal will be evaluated when it is returned to the shelter. If there are any medical expenses within 72 hours of the return, these expenses will be deducted from the refund amount.
