Do you understand that an adoption from Safe Harbor is a "Lifelong" adoption? This means that you must notify the rescue if you are ever unable to care for an animal you adopt, and a home transfer contract must be signed if your adopted animal is ever rehomed. Safe Harbor acts as a safety net for ALL animals cared for and adopted out by the rescue for life. If you are approved to adopt, you will be required to sign an adoption contract complying with this notice provision. *
