Adoption Application

Please complete this form if interested in adopting one of our current animals. Please understand that we put a lot of love, time, commitment, and money into our animals and want to ensure the best of the best for their FURever homes - we choose adopters based off of who we think will be the perfect fit for each individual animal and vice versa.

Adoption application must be filled out and fully approved prior to arranging a meet and greet with any animal.

Please allow 3-5 days after submitting an application for a member of our Adoptions Team to get in touch. Please be patient as we all work full time jobs on top of this and receive 20 - 30 applications per day. To reach our Adoptions Team directly, you can call or
text (423) 567-1026 or email them at adoptions@yourlocalfurmama.com.

We only accept applications for animals currently listed on our website as available. Applications submitted specifically for animals that are not listed as available will not be responded to but you are more than welcome to re-submit an adoption application when that animal does become available. Just because they are posted on our social media, does not make them available.
