Why should I

adopt a pet?

  • Because you’ll save a life.
  • Because you’ll get a great animal.
  • Because all pets are good for your health, but adoptees offer an extra boost.
  • Because adoption helps more than just one animal.

 

Adoption Information

  • How do I adopt a pet?

    Hope Marie’s Fund does not have a shelter, so all of our pets are in volunteer foster care. While living in foster care, all of our animals receive individualized, loving attention. We hold a monthly adoption event, at PetValu (near the Kroger), Greenwood, on State Road 135, on the last Saturday of every month, from 1-4pm.

  • Are there any adoption requirements?

    • Potential adopters must fill out the Adoption Application.
    • An interview and home visit are required. These home visits are done by a member of our all-volunteer staff
    • We do a Vet reference check.
    • Lastly, before taking your new companion, a contract must be signed, including the provision that the adopter will provide quality food, shelter, and medical care.

  • I have to sign a contact?

    Yes. Acquiring a new companion animal is a big responsibility, and a commitment for the lifetime of the animal. If you are not prepared to care for your companion through both the good and the bad times, please reconsider acquiring a pet. Pets take time, effort, and patience, and will reward you 1000 times over. If you are ready for a lifetime of love and furry hugs, please contact us!

While HMF typically limits our adoption area is within 50 miles of Franklin/Bargersville, IN, we will consider applications outside of area, PROVIDED we can find another group in the area willing to conduct a pre-adoption home visit on our behalf.

We do not have a shelter, as all our pets are in volunteer foster homes.

Potential adopters must fill out the Adoption Application.

If you would prefer to fill out a version that can be emailed, download the Microsoft Word version of the application.

Or, if you would prefer to fill out a version that can be printed and written on,  download the PDF version of the application.

An interview and home visit are required. We also do check references. These home visits are done by a member of our all-volunteer staff.
