In order to be considered as an adopter, you must be 1) at least 18 yrs old, 2) be able and willing to spend the time and money to
provide proper care, training & veterinary support. Animal guardianship is a major responsibility and a long-term commitment.
You will be sharing your life with a cat or dog for 15 or more years. In All Creatures' ongoing effort to find the best match between
prospective caretakers and the animals, we ask that you take the time to fill out this questionnaire.
