Click the $2 bill to make your PayPal deposit. 

Please indicate the animal's name in the "Animal Name" message box.

(​NOTE:  Applicants should NOT post monies until instructed to do so by AFTA.)

​

4.  Kindly purchase Purina or Pedigree Puppy Chow or Dog Chow prior to Adoption Day.   This is the food your puppy/dog is accustomed to consuming while in foster care.  You may slowly transition him or her to a higher grade food over time.  Instruction on how to do so will be given during the adoption contract review and educational period on Adoption Day.  (Please make no plans take your new dog "shopping" for this or any other purchases on Adoption Day.  He/she has been lifted from everything familiar and has made a long journey.  Adding further stimuli is not beneficial.  It is best he/she be taken directly home and introduced to and given adequate time to adjust to his/her new life). 

 

5.  Adoption Day:

    a.  Adopters sign in at specified time.

    b.  Adoptions are conducted on a first-come, first-served basis.

    c.  The adoption fee balance is due in CASH or MONEY ORDER only (animals will not be released if personal checks are presented). 

    d.  Every adopter is required to bring the aforementioned collar (see #3) and leash.

    e.  Kim or Tina will review the adoption contract and provide educational instruction to all new adopters at that time.
