"Adopting a pet is basically fairly easy. Hi I am Nancy with Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch. All shelters basically have different adoption forms for you to fill out. Some are three pages long, some are one page. Some charge money and some ask for donations. Some even actually will give animals away free. It is fairly simple. Out here what we do it is a one page form. We require that everyone have a fenced yard for the dog that they are thinking of adopting. We don't run credit checks or anything like that. We also want to make sure that everyone in the family is very comfortable with the new dog because if the children are scared or the wife is, this isn't the one I wanted, I wanted a small dog, that kind of thing, more than likely the dog will be returned to the shelter. Everyone needs to be totally happy and excited about their pet. Please consider adopting a pet from an animal shelter. I am sure there is one there for you. I'm Nancy with Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch."
