But first, the pet counselors at Susie’s Hope Rescue would like to know more about you and the kind of life we’ll live together.

The questions on this application are not a test. They are simply to afford Susie’s Hope
Rescue confidence that you can and will take care of me. I will need to be fed regularly with nutritious meals. I will need to receive veterinary care from time to time. I will also need shelter, a place to run and have fun, and your undivided attention and unconditional love!

Be at least 18 years old

Make sure all the adults living in your household know about me and agree that I can live there
