• I certify that I am filling the adoption application for myself and not anyone else.

• I understand that filling out an adoption form on www.leafanimals.com does not guarantee adoption.

• I understand that if I don't show up to the online Zoom interview for 15 minutes without a notice, Leaf Animals has the right to reject my  application and cancel my adoption process.

​

Application & Adoption Timeline:

• I understand that the adoption process takes time to ensure success and that Leaf Animals will not adopt an animal out because I am in a hurry to adopt.

• I understand that failure to reply to the approval message in 72 hours will get my application automatically rejected.

• I understand that not following the steps of the adoption process in 72 hours will get my application automatically rejected.

• I understand that Leaf Animals will hold on to my application for only 3 months maximum only if I didn't go through the interview yet. If after the interview the adoption process didn't continue, I will refill an application if I want.

​

Fees & Potential Changes:

• I understand that the service fee of EGP 300 (or equivalent) is non-refundable. If my application had been approved, Leaf Animals will support me to adopt another animal instead if my desired animal becomes unavailable.

• In the case of dog adoption, I understand that I will receive a partial refund of 400 EGP only if I have not yet received the adoption workshop video, which is included in the dog adoption service fee.

• I understand that Leaf Animals will not put me in touch with the animal's uploader/current guardian if I still haven't made the payment.

Behavior & Training:

• In case of travel or relocation, the animal must remain with me, and I bear all associated costs.

• The animal cannot be passed to another owner or rescue centre without Leaf Animals' prior written consent.

 

Privacy & Confidentiality:
