If the animal being adopted is located out of state, and is scheduled for transport, we will notify the adopter of the day and time for pick up. If an adopter is unable to pick up the animal on the day they are scheduled to, they need to contact the rescue to see if boarding is available. If boarding is available, a $30 a day boarding fee will be charged for each day the animal must be kept over.
If the animal being adopted is already located in state, pick up is generally scheduled within 24 hours of the adoption being finalized. Even if the adopter knows where the animal is located, the rescue will make the pick-up arrangements. If an adopter is unable to pick up the animal on the day they are scheduled to, they need to contact the rescue to see if boarding is available. If boarding is available, a $30 a day boarding fee will be charged for each day the animal must be kept over.
If the adopter is unwilling to pay the boarding fee, the animal will be made available for adoption by someone else, and the deposit fee will be forfeit for that animal. It is up to the discretion of Pulled From the Pits as to whether the adopter will be allowed to use the deposit for an alternate adoption. The deposit will not be refunded under any circumstances. We try our best to communicate clearly when animals will be available for pick-up, but we must work within the schedule of the transport companies and the quarantine periods. This is out of our control.
Please keep in mind these animals have already been through so much, the best thing for them is to just be able to go straight home!
If it is determined that the decompression policy ( available at all times on the website) was not followed, or that the animal needs veterinary attention there will be NO refund of any kind given. After (7) seven days there will be no refunds given no matter the circumstances.
Pulled From the Pits does not do any DNA testing. We do our best to provide as much information about our animals as we are given, but we do not guarantee any lineage for any animal. We also try to provide an age for our animals, but this can be challenging especially with older dogs, and we provide our vets best estimate in these cases.
At any time during the lifetime of the animal the adopter decides that they cannot keep their pet, they must consult with the rescue before taking the animal to a shelter, giving the animal away or having the animal euthanized. This rescue makes a commitment to every animal they adopt out that they will be safe in an approved situation. We understand that situations arrive that may be out of the adopters control, and we will do our best to help with any issues if we are able to.
If the adopter has someone else willing to take the animal, the new potential adopters need to go through our application process first before the dog is released into anyone else’s care.
Should this policy not be followed, the rescue reserves the right to reacquire ownership of said animal though legal channels if necessary, with the original applicant being responsible for any and all such costs incurred.
