Bunny, Guinea Pigs, Rats Adoption Questionnaire
Center Valley Animal Rescue wants to make certain that every animal adopted
goes to a loving, safe home where the animal will be well cared for with people
who are committed to a lifetime of care for the animal. We also want you to
have a successful experience with your new adoptee. If this will be your first
one, we recommend that you read, talk with your veterinarian, and talk with
other people who have the same type of animal.
When you have made the decision that a bunny, guinea pig or rat will fit into
your lifestyle, fill out the following questionnaire. This application will not
only help us make certain we have the right animal for you but may also help
you to consider some aspects of animal care that you had not thought of yet.
When you have completed the form you can e-mail it, mail it or fax it.
We like to make sure we match the right pet with the right people so please
answer truthfully.
Adoption Fees:
Rabbits – $35; 2 for $60
Guinea Pigs - $35; 2 for $60
