ONLINE ADOPTION FORM

Thank you for your interest in adopting a rescue pet.

No Hairs Ark is a small group of dedicated animal welfare advocates that rescue, rehabilitate, care for and rehome pets, specifically the Chinese Crested dog breed, in need. We do not receive any funding or financial support, other than the occasional very kind donation from one of our wonderful supporters. The adoption fee charged is purely to help cover basic vet costs such as desexing, vaccination and micro-chipping. All additional vet costs, food, pee pads, bedding, pens, etc are paid for by us, and no money is made from the re-homing of our animals.

The purpose of this questionnaire is to provide some background information about yourself and your household, to ensure the most suitable homes are found for all animals.

Will this be your first pet?

Please tell a bit about your last dog...

Have you been owned by a Chinese Crested or any other hairless breed before?

If yes, tell us a bit about them... If no, what has drawn you to these unique dogs?

At times, the hairless Chinese Crested need particular skin care and jackets. Are you prepared to follow this through?

Are you aware the Chinese Crested dog is suited to a mainly indoor lifestyle?

While on the whole, the breed is happy to spend time outdoor, the hairless variety need protection from the elements and sometimes require human intervention to ensure they do not sun bake too much.

How much time per day will you have, on average to spend with your dog?

How often and for how long will you walk your dog?

What (if any) other exercise would you provide?

Keep in mind that while the breed is in the toy group, a perfect lap dog and companion,some dogs in this breed are active and excel at many dog sports like agility, nose work or rally-o!

Are there any other pets in your household?

If yes, tell us about them. Are they desexed and up to date with vaccinations and parasite prevention? Do they play nice with other dogs and people?

Have you ever given away or surrendered a pet?

We known these memories can be hard to dredge up, but it is best to let us know.

Who do you live with at home?

Your parents or other special humans? Are there little humans in the house? What are their ages. etc?

Do the human adults work?

Who will generally be responsible for the care of the pet?

Is everyone in the household on board with bringing a Chinese Crested into the family unit?

Is anyone in your home allergic to any kind of animals?

Keep in mind that Chinese Crested dogs are LOW allergen dogs. People who are allergic to animals are commonly allergic to the fur, dander and saliva of a dog - the Chinese Crested still have two of these three things. There is no such thing as a TRULY HYPOALLERGENIC dog.

What kind of home do you live in?

Do you rent or own your home?

What kind of fencing does your yard have?

Keep in mind that some Chinese Crested dogs are adept climbers, some can dig - if they are not happy in their environment, they will take it upon themselves to go wandering.

How much would you expect to spend on food per month?

How much would you expect to spend on veterinary costs annually?

Do you give permission for a house inspection if required, at a mutually agreed upon time?

If you adopt, would you be willing to provide the occasional update on the pet's progress and how they are adapting to their life with you?

Can you please supply references - such as your current vet or landlord if applicable?
