OWNER SURRENDER PROCEDURES

This must be read before filling out the Owner Surrender Application.

• All applications must be 18 years of age or older to submit an application.

• TLC Rescue will consider out of area/state owner-surrenders however, the owner must be prepared to assist with planning transportation for the dog, and agree to pay any and all expenses associated with the transportation.

• It is up to the owner to provide a donation to TLC Rescue to help cover the expenses of vet care and daily maintenance.

• The donations are used to cover the cost of medical treatments incurred while the dog has been in the possession of TLC Rescue, prior to adoption (i.e., examinations, spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm checks and preventative, heartworm treatments, flea preventative, etc)

• TLC Rescue attempts to place your dog in the best possible home environments.  To that end, several interviews (including a telephone interview, review of the adoption application and a home visit to see where the dog will live, play and exercise) will be held between the prospective owners and TLC Rescue volunteers and/or representatives.

• The interviews and application will help the Adoption Coordinator and the foster parents determine which dog is the most suitable for each applicant.

• We will NOT take in a dog that has any type of aggression.  We have to protect ourselves as well as the other dogs that are at the rescue.

 PLEASE NOTE:  A submitted application does not guarantee that TLC Rescue will be able to take your dog.  Before we will commit to taking ANY dog, we must have the Owner Surrender application before the dog is turned over to us.  We must have complete information.  We will be making calls to your vet to make sure the information you have provided us is accurate.  If you provide your own vaccines, we will require a copy of those records.

Submission of your application confirms that you have read and understood the owner surrender procedures and indicates your agreement to abide by TLC Rescue’s terms of surrendering your dog.
