Thanks for your interest in Fox Terrier Rescue. 
The procedures we follow are:

1. Fill out the adoption application and send it back (email or snail mail is fine).

2. The applications are read and then we strive to match a rescue dog that will fit your needs/desires and also be beneficial to the dog as well.  Dogs are NOT placed on a first come/first serve basis.  The application is lengthy because we work hard  to match dogs in forever homes.

3. A home visit will be scheduled at a time that is convenient for you. If possible, the rescue dog will come as well.

4. The best family for that particular fox terrier is chosen after an evaluation of all factors.

5. Once we decide on a dog for you, we will arrange transportation. 

6. The new family will asked to sign an Adoption Contract and provide a donation (around $150).  Donations are applied towards  veterinary costs (all dogs are up to date on shots, spayed/neutered, wormed and on heart guard heartworm prevention, most are also groomed).

7. Fox Terrier  Rescue will make routine follow-up visits (either phone, email or in person) to assure that the forever-home be successful and to resolve any questions before they become problems.

8. All new adopters agree to return the dog to Fox Terrier Rescue if any conditions prevent them from keeping their adoptive dog.
