Adopt A Pet

Thank you for your interest in fostering with Tails of Hope Rescue.

If all members of the household are on board, fill out the application below.

In addition to the application we will request two personal references; people that can attest to the ability past and present and desire to care for animals. These can be from places you may have previously fostered, a veterinarian, family or friends.

• The application will be reviewed by staff.
• References will be checked.
• Staff will refer to members of the community to get information about the applicant as needed.
• A staff member will pay a home visit.

After the home visit has been conducted and application approved, you will be eligible to take a cat or dog depending on your wishes and the rescue's needs.

You and Tails of Hope Rescue will communicate regularly (once a month MINIMUM) and as often as necessary to communicate animal progress, needs, concerns.

Should the animal need medical care he/she will be taken to the veterinarian of the Tails of Hope Rescue’s choice, and a staff member will call to make the appointment or request medication, services, etc.

You are responsible for food, water, enrichment, toys, socialization, and any other physical and emotional needs of the animal. Tails of Hope Rescue agrees to pay medical costs for those animals, and are considered under the care of the Tails of Hope Rescue, with the you as temporary guardian.

At least annually staff will review the application, make note of any changes to living conditions (animal and family member changes) or changes in the living conditions of the home (if equipment, fencing, etc have been added/removed). This will take place during a discussion with the you. At that time a re-inspection of the home will take place.

^**Kossuth County Tails of Hope Rescue reserves the right to remove any animal in any home at any time due to the nature of responsibility of the group to maintain their care and wellbeing. No notice must be given to the family and agree to surrender any or all animals in their care immediately.
