I believe I am capable of handling and interacting with the pet I propose to adopt and am financially able to care for it. I have answered these questions truthfully to the best of my ability. I understand that any misrepresentation of this information is grounds for adoption denial. Furthermore, I understand that completing this application is not a guarantee that I will be allowed to adopt this pet and that G.A.I.N. has the right and responsibility to deny any adoption.
