How would you approach training and helping your new pet adjust to your home?

How many walks or exercise sessions do you plan to provide each day? How will you ensure your pet gets enough mental stimulation?

Under what circumstances, if any, would you consider returning the pet? If you could no longer care for them, what would your plan be?

Are you aware that animals require patience, training, and time to adjust after joining a new family?

What challenges do you think you may encounter during the adjustment period, and how would you handle them?

I agree to a pre-adoption home check, which is a mandatory part of the adoption process.

I understand that, if my application is approved, I will be required to sign the adoption contract before taking the animal home.

I agree to provide occasional updates and photos after the adoption so ELSA can ensure the animal is adjusting well to its new home.

By submitting this application, I confirm that all information provided is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge.

I have read and understood ELSA's Privacy Policy and consent to the processing of my personal data for the purpose of reviewing my adoption application and communicating with me regarding the adoption process.
