Adoption Process
Step One
Read the following ARF of Mercer adoption application carefully before completing the application 

The information requested in this form will assist us in matching you to the right dog for your family, needs and lifestyle.  We realize that some of the questions are intrusive, but we are sure you will understand that we are responsible for the dogs' well-being.  We take this responsibility seriously and will not adopt to any home when we cannot feel totally confident of the adopter’s willingness and ability (financial and personal) to commit to this puppies future well-being and happiness.
 
An adoption donation of $400 to $600.00 is required at the time of the signing of the contract.  This fee is non-refundable for any reason. All animals are already spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and have been treated for internal and external parasites.
 
Throughout the life of the puppy, if any reason should arise where you are unable to keep the dog, we require that you notify our rescue so that we can either help you in properly re-homing him/her or request the animal be returned to rescue.  You are not at liberty to dispose of this pet in any way.  The dog may not be sold, given away, put in a shelter or euthanized without the knowledge and permission of rescue. 
 
It is required that you take your new puppy to the vet within the first 48 hours of adoption for a checkup, fecal exam and, if necessary, vaccinations.
 
This Application is the first step in a process in the placement of a puppy into your home as a new family member.
 
Steps two and three respectively, will be a veterinary check (your veterinarian will be telephoned and asked about your previous record of treatment and care of your pets) and a home check, where a member or representative of our rescue will visit your home to ascertain the suitability of the living quarters for your puppy and to suggest any safety features that you may not be aware of in providing a safe and secure home for your new puppy.
 
No information offered on this form by you will be given to third parties for any purpose, unless it is determined that you or members of your household are actively engaged as an owner, supporter or employee of a puppy mill, or participate in dog auctions, or organized dog fighting; or in the event that we are made aware that you or members of your household are guilty of acts of animal cruelty as defined by the laws of New Jersey, or have ever been cited for acts of animal cruelty or negligence.
We reserve the right to refuse adoption to anyone, for any reason, at any time, in accordance with our experience and sense of responsibility for the puppies in our care.  Please be aware that completing this application does not bind you to adopt one of our animals, nor does it guarantee that we will place one of our animals in your home.
