Thank You for considering becoming an Adopter with us!
COVID-19 UPDATE (1/7/2021):
Our facility is currently closed to the public and all Pre-Approved adopters will be asked to commit to adopt utilizing our "2021 eAdoptions" process as explained on our website.
Pre-Approved Adopters will be offered limited, private events to meet dogs/puppies available as of the date of that event, meaning no dogs/puppies will be "reserved" prior to this date for you.
**PLEASE NOTE: W e have had a significant increase in adoption applications – we are grateful and appreciate everyone’s patience as we are processing them as quickly as possible. Do not send us an email letting us know you completed an application as this will not expedite your request to adopt.**
A few friendly disclosures before you begin:
Once we receive your application, we will mostly correspond via text and/or email. We will only make 3 attempts to contact you and then will close your application in assumption you have decided not to further pursue adopting, so please be proactive. Please check our website for approximate processing times, we will update often to keep you in the loop.
If all that is good with you - let's begin!

Due to the increased demand to adopt from our organization, we have significantly changed our Adoptions Process for 2021. Please check to confirm you have read and will respect our policies and procedures.
We currently do not have the resources or networking to perform out of state adoptions. Please confirm that you have a New Jersey Residence.
Please confirm that you understand and agree to a virtual home visit, in which all members of the household must be present, as part of the application process to adopt and/or foster.
Please check which best describes your home ownership situation.
If you picked any option above other than a home titled in your name, please provide either the Apartment/Condo Complex name and website, the name, email and phone number of the Private Landlord, or the name of the parents/relatives you live with who actually own the home. *If this information is left blank, we will not process your application*
How did you learn about adopting/volunteering from us?
If you wrote AFO Volunteer, AFO Adopter, Another Rescue Group or Other above, please provide the name of the referrer.*
What age group are you looking to adopt from?
Please list the name of the animal you are applying to adopt. Make sure to write 1st, 2nd, 3rd choices if interested in a specific litter. If you are interested in any puppy or kitten, please write that. If you are looking to become pre-approved but have no preference yet, please write that.*
If you have chosen a specific pet and that pet has a pending application or has been adopted, would you like us to continue processing your application?
Please provide some details as to what you are looking for in a puppy/dog so we can help ensure an appropriate match based on your needs/wants. (examples: any healthy puppy, any special needs dog/pup, dog I can take running with me, mellow and older, one that will enjoy apartment life, super friendly to take to dog parks, etc - the more details the better!)*
Who is the person financially and physically responsible for the care of your new pet? (If not you, please detail who)*
A yearly visit to the veterinarian plus daily care needs can average $500+ annually. What is your approach to veterinary care, in consideration of these expenses:
Please check the most appropriate box to describe your pet ownership history:
Please provide ALL veterinarians you have used in the past 5 years (name of vet practice, phone number and pet's seen at this vet even if no longer under your ownership or have died)*
Check to confirm the following:
Please provide the name and email address of at least one NON-FAMILY/RELATED reference we may contact as a character witness.*
Please check the box that most accurately describes the activity in your home.
Please detail if there are children in your home or if there are regular children visitors. Provide ages and the amount of time spent in your home.
If you do have children in the home, it is extremely important you are adopting a "Kid Friendly" and "Social" puppy/dog versus adopting strictly on preferential looks/breeds. The personality of a dog/puppy can be the difference between a wonderful pet experience or a disappointing/potentially dangerous pet experience. With that, please pick an option:
Does anyone in the home or who frequently visits the home been diagnosed with pet allergies? If yes, please explain. If no, please write No.
Please check the box(es) that most accurately describe the situations in which you would give up a pet:
Please check the box to describe how you ensure your new Dog/Puppy is transitioning easily into your home:
Please check the box that most accurately describes your exercise/socialization practices:
Please answer BOTH questions: Have you ever taken obedience classes before? And if no, are you willing to take obedience/training classes with your pet?
By checking the box below, you understand all "approvals" are to be considered PRE-APPROVALS and under no circumstance are you guaranteed the adoption of a pet in our care and if at any point in time prior to the adoption contract signing we receive additional information that merits a denial to supersede a previous pre-approval status, it is fully within our (AFO) right to deny your application and revoke your pre-approved adopter status.
