Adoption Policies, Terms & Conditions

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

(1) Please be honest and give complete information on your adoption application form. Giving false or incorrect information could cause delays in processing your application, or in some cases, can be grounds for it to be voided or declined by Heaven Scent Ferret Rescue/Shelter.

(2) Best Match: Please understand that at times, we may receive multiple applications for the same ferret, and we at Heaven Scent strive to attain the “best possible match” between ferts and their potential “forever homes.” We try to make sure that each adoption is as complete a match, and as safe as possible for all involved … the fert, you, and your family.

(3) Our adoption contract contains terms, which are very specific, and must be adhered to.

(4) Adoption contracts are a legally binding agreement.

(5) Adoption donations and fees are non-refundable, per the terms of our contract. Our adoption contract states that Heaven Scent will always “take a fuzzy back” in the event that Adopter changes his/her mind, the fert doesn’t adjust to the Adopter’s family and/or lifestyle, or the Adopter for some reason is no longer able to care for the fuzzy; however, these conditions are not acceptable grounds for a refund. We expect that our potential adopters have given proper and due consideration to the responsibilities of adopting a ferret, and we spend considerable time with each potential adopter to that end. We at Heaven Scent are human, and do try to understand changes in circumstances beyond our Adopter’s control, so in some rare cases with extreme circumstances, refunds may be considered on a case by case basis.

(6) Internet Adoptions allow Heaven Scent to adopt our ferrets to out-of-state Adopters. We at Heaven Scent feel that our ferrets deserve the most loving and caring homes possible, and we don’t feel our adoptions should be limited if a fuzzy has a good potential home in another state.

Please be aware that our Internet Adoptions do have additional “rules”, which are as follows:

• Submission of the Adoption Application via the Internet constitutes agreement by the potential Adopter to all terms and conditions of our adoption process.
• Adoption Donations and Fees submitted via our PayPal “Adopt Online” process constitute acceptance, acknowledgment, and is representative of the Adopter’s “electronic signature” of our Adoption Contract regardless of whether the Adopter ever mails or faxes an original of the contract back to Heaven Scent.
• The same terms and conditions apply to our Internet Adoptions that apply to our inperson adoptions.

(7) Transport fees paid to Heaven Scent are NON-REFUNDABLE, regardless of circumstances. Depending on space availability, it may be possible for the Adopter to expedite or delay a transport for which fees have been paid, but this is at the sole discretion of Heaven Scent. These terms and conditions subject to change and/or modification by Heaven Scent Rescue/Shelter at any time.
