To be considered as an Adopter, you must be 1) at least 18 yrs old, 2) be able/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 an animal for 15 or more years. In All Creatures’ ongoing effort to find the best match between prospective adopters and the animals in our charge, we ask that you fill out this questionnaire and ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS.
