Phoenix Gate Rattery Adoption Application

Thank you for your interest in adopting from us! The following is the application for adoption. Questions on the application are used to determine adoption suitability for placement of a Px rat(s) into a new home. It is also a good way for future and potential adopters to get an idea of what kind of care will be expected and what information they will need when becoming new owners. This information is used in determining suitability purposes only and is kept strictly confidential. Adopters must fill out and submit this application to Phoenix Gate Rattery to be considered for adoption placement. If you choose not submit an application at all, you will not be considered for any adoption with us. Once your application is approved, you will be placed on the general wait list. Keep watching the site for updates on upcoming litters as any new developments will be listed on the site (you will not receive individual emails for this). Once the litters are born and the sexes/varieties determined, we will fill reservations in the order of adoption application approval with the earlier dates filled first. You will receive an email when you have been selected for adoption of that litter about specific baby reservations and pick up of your babies.

Instructions for Filling out and Submitting Your Application: Simply copy and paste the following questions along with your responses into an email - send it to us at PxRats@gmail.com. If you have any problems, additional questions or any concerns about your application, let us know. Please be as truthful and complete as possible so we can best match up your adoption requests with the best possible rat(s) for you and your family.
