East Lake Pet Orphanage Admittance Form

Filling out an application does not insure your animal of a place in our orphanage. To have an animal considered for admission into our adoption program, fill out the form below.  Please keep in mind that there are simply more animals in need than what we can accommodate and the animal should not considered to be on a "waiting list". It is critical that you continue to look into other alternatives during the time frame that an admission application is on file with us. Due to the high number of animals in need of assistance, admittance applications are automatically discarded 30 days after the submission date. Though we attempt to admit animals in the order that the applications are submitted, we must consider size, breed, sex, age, health, and disposition of each animal in an attempt to have a variety of animals available at any given time. This helps us to place animals in a more expedient manner.  We invite you to e-mail a picture of the animal you are trying to place to admissions@welovepets.net with "admittance application photo" as the subject line of your e-mail. Remember to include the name of the pet in the text of your e-mail so that we can quickly identify which picture goes with your admittance application.

As a no-kill, limited admittance facility, we typically operate at full capacity.  Our Lost and Found Resources will include ways to find other shelters and rescues in the area as well as ideas on how you can place the animal yourself.  There are several different types of rescues and shelters, and it is up to you to research these to determine which will be the best for your individual needs.  You may also submit a picture and brief description for the East Lake Pet Orphanage bulletin board located in our facility at no charge, and/or this information may also be placed on our web site for one month with a $20 donation to the orphanage (this donation is separate from the donation that we request at the time of admission).

If an opening becomes available for your animal within the 30 day period, we will contact you to set up a time/date for you to bring the animal in.  If the animal you are needing to place is a personal pet, we will request an additional form be filled out at the time of admission to help us get more specific information about the type of environment that your pet is used to (this will help us in our search for most suitable home), as well as a copy of past medical records.

I wish for the following pet to be admitted for adoption (name)
Today's date:

OK with kids? OK with dogs? OK with cats? Favorite activities
Any special health or behavioral problems? (describe)
Any recent diarrhea, nasal or eye discharge, sneezing or coughing? (describe)
Has this animal had any obedience or other special training? (describe)
IIs the animal housetrained? Yes No
Why are you trying to place this animal in a new home?

The cost of medical care and boarding for an adoptee can run from $100 to $400 or higher. To help defray these costs, I will contribute $ upon acceptance of this animal to the adoption program.

Surrendering an animal should be a last resort and a decision that has been thought out very carefully.  If this pet is accepted, I understand that I will no longer have any legal claim to it. ALL ADMISSIONS ARE FINAL and the animal cannot be reclaimed at a later date.  I understand that while animals admitted together are attempted to be placed in the same home, that East Lake Pet Orphanage does not make any guarantees that they will be able to be adopted out together. I am aware that this animal may be humanely euthanized if it is determined to be aggressive or if it has any serious health issues that will diminish its quality of life even with treatment.
