Applicant Acknowledgment – By submitting this adoption application, I acknowledge and agree that applying for a specific dog does not reserve, hold, or guarantee the adoption of that animal. Happy Hot Dogs Rescue & Sanctuary evaluates each application on a case-by-case basis and reserves the sole and exclusive right to approve or deny any application, discontinue the adoption process at any time prior to finalization, and determine the most appropriate placement for each dog based on the dog's best interests. I further understand that the adoption process includes, but is not limited to, a meet-and-greet with the dog (and any resident pets or household members, if requested), a home inspection conducted or approved by Happy Hot Dogs Rescue & Sanctuary, reference verification, and final review and approval by the Happy Hot Dogs Rescue & Sanctuary Board of Directors. Completion of these steps does not guarantee adoption. I understand that no adoption is considered final until all required steps have been successfully completed, all adoption agreements have been executed, the adoption fee has been paid, and written approval has been granted by Happy Hot Dogs Rescue & Sanctuary. *
