a. Viewing our pets: Most of our pets can be viewed on our website in See Our Pets. Our website is updated throughout the week. Please call the GPR office at (352) 692-4773 to confirm when each pet will be available for adoption. We are open for adoptions on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10am to 6pm. We encourage you to stop by and visit the animals.
b. Application Process: If you are interested in adopting, we ask that you complete an adoption application and speak with one of our adoption counselors. Our goal is to insure that we are matching the right pet with the right person and to answer any questions you may have.
1. Be at least 18 years of age and show your current driver’s license.
2. Be prepared to provide written consent from landlord on management letterhead if you rent your home/apt. If you own your home please bring proof of address (utility bill in your name or similar).
