Adoption Policy FAQ:
Q: What do the adoption fees cover?
A: The fee covers spaying/neutering, current distemper and rabies
vaccinations, de-worming, and general care of the animals (food,
medication, vet care, etc.). Many of the dogs we take in come to us
testing HW+, a condition which must be treated prior to the dog being
adopted out and this treatment is very costly
Q: "Why do we need to do an
interview?"
A: We have had time to learn the animal's personality - and by meeting
with you and discussing your personality, home, family environment, etc. -
we can get an idea whether this is indeed the right dog for you. Some dogs
may have difficulty in a busy family setting, while others may be too
active for an elderly family. We try to place the right dog with the right
owner.
Q: "Why do I have to fill out an
application and contract? Can't I just pick the animal I want and take
him/her home?"
A: Doberman Rescue of NC , Inc makes a commitment to all our dogs to place them in a
safe and loving environment. The application and contract is our agreement
with them, and you - that you will provide such an environment for them.
Q: "If this doesn't work out - what can
I do?"
A: Owning a Doberman is a big responsibility. This is why we interview
prospective owners before hand. It's also why you must sign a contract
with Doberman Rescue of NC , Inc. We make a commitment to all the animals - the
contract states that when circumstances make it impossible for a pet to
remain with the adopting family, it is required that Doberman Rescue of NC
, Inc
be notified and allowed to reclaim the pet. This will allow us to place
the dog with a new owner.
