Policies

Spay/Neuter Policy:
Copper’s Dream makes every effort to spay and neuter our rescue animals before they are adopted. However, if an unusual circumstance arises where we are unable to do so, we require the adopting family to spay or neuter their new pet within two weeks and to provide proof of the operation by sending Copper’s Dream a spay-neuter certificate. Copper’s Dream Rescue will still arrange for and pay for the spay-neuter, but please note that ownership of the animal will not transfer to you until the operation is completed and the certificate of proof is received. Copper’s Dream reserves the right to reclaim any animal that is not spayed or neutered within two weeks of release to its new home.

Animal Return Policy:
Copper’s Dream Rescue will accept any rescue dog back within the first week after adoption. However, adoption fees are not refundable or transferable. Beyond the first week of adoption, Copper’s Dream will still assist with rehoming a rescue dog, but will require that adopters foster the rescue dog until a new home is found.

Liability:
Copper’s Dream makes every effort to communicate breed, age, health and behavior information about each rescue animal accurately. However, our staff and volunteers are not animal experts, and we do not conduct our own health and behavior evaluations upon receiving an animal from the shelter. We rely almost entirely on the evaluations conducted at shelters, which may or may not be done by professionals. Moreover, Copper’s Dream directors often do not even see the animals that we put up for adoption, because they are transported directly from shelters to foster families. As a result, we require adopting families to release us of all liability resulting from any wrong or incomplete information, including but not limited to breed, age, health, and potential behavior problems. Adopting families must also assume all risks associated with introducing their rescue animals to third parties. Copper’s Dream recommends that new families wait until they have become very familiar with their new pet and its temperament before attempting any introductions to people or animals outside of their immediate family.

Financial Responsibility:
Copper’s Dream requires that new adopters who would be unable to afford emergency medical care bills up to $5,000 purchase pet insurance at the time of adoption. Copper’s Dream considers the euthanasia of animals who are not elderly and have treatable conditions unethical, because an owner has trouble paying for the vet bills.

Commitment To Keep Any Copper's Dream Adopted Animals In My Possession:
Copper's Dream expects adopters to commit to keeping a rescue cat for its natural lifespan. However, if unforeseen circumstances make this impossible, Copper's Dream forbids the relinquishment of its rescue animals to any private or public shelter. Instead, adopters must (1) communicate with Copper's Dream to explore the possibility of having Copper's Dream assist with rehoming the pet, and/or (2) find a new suitable home for their pet on their own. Adopters accept responsibility for all costs that Copper's Dream may incur to reclaim pets left at shelters in violation of the above commitment.

By signing below, I certify that the information I have given is true. I authorize the investigation of all statements in this application. I understand that Copper’s Dream Rescue reserves the right to deny my application for any reason. I also agree to abide by all of the policies of Copper’s Dream Rescue, specified above. I understand that while Copper's Dream makes every effort to communicate to new families the breed and age of their cat as well as any behavior or medical problems that they are aware of, they do not make any representation or guarantee about the behavior, health, breed or age of any rescue cat. Adopters accept all liability for their new pets.
