Wasatch Avian Education Society Adoption Document

Adoption Application

How Adoption works:

1st: You need to be a member of WAES, within reasonable driving distance of Salt Lake City, and have your dues current.

2nd: Your home study needs to be completed by a member of the Adoption Committee within the last 12 months. *You will be contacted and scheduled for a short home visit after filling out this form.

3rd: You will need to work closely with the Rescue Director to schedule visits with any bird that you may be interested in, and follow up with him/her when the visits have been completed.

4th: When you have found just the right bird for you and the visit went well, then the Adoption Committee may have to be consulted as to which home of the interested applicants is in the bird's best interest. All decisions of the Adoption Committee are final.

5th: You will need to sign an Adoption Form and pay the Adoption Fees. As of October 9, 2004; WAES can no longer accept personal checks for payment of Adoption Fees. We will accept a bank drawn check, cash, or Money Order. Paypal will also be accepted as a form of payment for Adoption Fees, but a 5% surcharge will be added to the total cost. Also, WAES can no longer accept time payments. Please also be aware that once an adoption fee is paid, WAES will issue NO refunds, NO trades, NO EXCEPTIONS.
