The above information that I have provided to Wyandotte Animal Control for the purpose of adopting an animal is accurate and complete.

IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
A volunteer will review your application and contact you ONLY if you are approved or if further clarification is required. We will make every attempt to contact approved applicants within 5 business days of application submission (M-F), but this will depend on the number of applications received.
Please understand that by answering the questions does not guarantee the adoption of the pet, nor are you obligated to adopt the pet.
We adopt to homes that are best fits for our animals' needs, and not on a first-come, first-served basis. If you currently own a pet or have a history of pet ownership, you must provide a vet reference for your application to be processed. Preference is given to applications with prior pet experience and vet references.
- We ask for your patience as we review your application. WAC receives several each day.
- Approved applicants are based on best fit, not first submitted. Please understand that it is within our discretion to make decisions on behalf of our animals.
