Adoption Process

Thank you for submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) form for this rescue pet! The pet’s Case Manager and Foster Carer will review your EOI and then respond to you as soon as possible. If it sounds like you and the foster pet are a good match, we will arrange a no-obligation meet and greet for you. At this meeting you get the opportunity to spend some time with the animal, then we ask you to take some time to think about it afterwards and let the Case Manager know your feelings the next day. If you want to go ahead with an adoption, and FFAR think that you would make a good match, we offer a four-week trial, and the services of our behaviourist at no cost to you during that time, should you have any issues. If the adoption doesn't work out for any reason, we will take your rescue pet back for a full refund within those four weeks; we will also take your adopted animal back at any point during their lifetime lifetime should you become unable to care for them. A bit like a no-risk guarantee! We want each adoption to go swimmingly for both the adopter and animal and never want these special four-leggeds to be homeless again.

Mary (adopted)

Breed: Staffy X
Age: 6 years old
Colour: Black
Gender: Female
Fee: $495

Mary is a delightfully beautiful dog. She likes her own space but is often up for a cuddle or play. Mary is a cheeky and excitable companion and willing for walks at every turn. She enjoys going in the car, for a walk or even just a play in the backyard. She gets along with other dogs very well and enjoys a good game of tug-of-war. Mary gets along really well with people and kids after a little bit of time getting used to newcomers. Mary's appetite knows no bounds and she is always up for a nap after a nice dinner! Mary is currently living with a fur-brother who she adores. They often cuddle together and follow each other around. Could your home be Mary's FUR-ever home?
