Read in FULL Before Continuing 

Application fee must be paid! 

We are a 100% VOLUNTEER run organization with no paid employees. It can take a a little while to process your application, depending on the amount of applications received. This means, please be patient and understanding with our volunteers. If you cannot do this, you will be denied and blocked from adopting through SGER. Once you submit the application, please check your email regularly, including your spam folder, for a reply. If we want to continue the adoption process, we WILL send an email with the next steps. Look for the addresses below: 

Sgequinerescue@gmail.com

Ancampos1207@gmail.com

We do not and will NOT do same day adoptions and you cannot come walk the property to "choose" a dog/puppy.

ALL adopters must go through the same screening process listed below before adopting. Approval is needed for meet and greets prior to adoption, this will help prevent time wasted for all. 

We choose the best adopter for our animals whether its a senior dog or an 8 week old puppy. Age plays a role in who can adopt puppies and young dogs due to the possible lifespan of those involved in the adoption. 

Fenced yards are not required for all animals and we will choose the best home for the animals based on information given. 

Please read this in full before continuing as there are several requirements needed to proceed with an adoption and we do not want to waste anyone’s time. Failure to comply with any of the steps, will result in the application being denied. 

Driver’s License/State ID must be submitted for every adult in the home. This is required by Department of Agriculture.

Proof of home ownership or rental agreement with pet policy.

You must provide a minimum of three (3) references and they will be required to send their reference to us.

Current vet record for all animals in the home.

Virtual Home Inspection will be completed by you sending us pictures/video of your home and yard.

If you are not willing to do any of the steps mentioned above, be respectful, and comply with any additional requests specific to your application, please do not fill out the application.

Read every question thoroughly to make sure you are answering it correctly.

Required
Are you aware that when you adopt an animal, you are taking on the responsibility of its lifetime, which may be up to 14+ years for Giants and up to 20+ years for small breeds or other species. This includes quality food, grooming, vetting, and preventative heart worm, plus treatment and flea/tick/mosquito repellent for the rest of their lives? We only require heartworm prevention on cats that are indoor/outdoor, however all dogs in the home must be on year round prevention medications for their entire lives.  *
What does a Rescue pet mean to you and why would you like to adopt one? *
Why should we choose your home? If we get multiple applications for this pet, why should we choose you?  *
If the animal you want is unavailable, would you consider another dog or cat of similar type?  *
I understand that no pets will be held without an approved application and a $50 to $100 *NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT. If you change your mind for any reason, the deposit will not be returned. Deposits will only be returned for medical reasons beyond our control on the pet in question. Do you understand that the deposit is REQUIRED TO PROCEED with a hold?
*Deposits are put towards final adoption fee.

If you are adopting an unaltered animal, you understand that it is your obligation to spay/neuter your adopted pet in a timely manner. If you do not do this and send in proof it has been done, you will be required to return the animal immediately. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT, NOT A REQUEST. We do follow up!

For puppies too young to be spayed/neutered before adoption, a $50 spay/neuter fee is added to their adoption fee. Once proof is sent that the surgery has been completed, the $50 will be returned to the adopter. 

IF you do not have the animal spayed/neutered within 60 days for adults, 10 months of age for puppies, or have vet approved waiver, there will be a $500 court appointed penalty.

Fosters:
If Fostering, are you aware that you are taking on the responsibility of this animal until it finds its forever home? This can be weeks, months, and occasionally longer. You are committing to caring for this animal like it's one of your own, feeding, supplying it with all care, and supplies in your home (aside of vet care). You are agreeing to attend all adoption events, training events, and other fundraising events to help this animal get adopted (if living within 4 hours). 
We do our best to assist you with food and supplies, but rely 100% on donations and may not have adequate supplies to do so. If not, you will pay for all food, grooming, and supplies for this pet while in your home and in your care. Do you agree to this? *

SGER does NOT do pediatric spay/neutering! If you adopt a puppy under the age of 6 months, YOU are responsible for their spay/neuter surgery and you MUST send proof by 10 months of age. Failure to spay/neuter without vet proof, will result in legal action and a fine. Ownership of pet will be terminated and animal will be returned to SGER.
