Meet Finch! 🎉 This delightful creature is a bundle of joy waiting to spill happiness into your home. Finch is currently in our care and has an adoption fee of $150. With a heart as big as the sun, this animal will become current on core vaccines, be spayed or neutered, and will sport a brand-new microchip before heading off to their forever home! 🌟 And that’s not all—if Finch is a cat, they’ll even be tested for FIV and feline leukemia virus, while dogs will be screened for heartworm disease and tick-borne illness. Senior animals, like our wonderful Finch, will benefit from a full senior work-up, courtesy of our amazing nonprofit partner, Friends of the Wallingford Animal Shelter! 🐾 The adoption process doesn't have to be daunting, dear hearts! The very first step involves showing your love by filling out the application through the Buddy App. It's as easy as pie! 🥧 You aren’t locked into adopting a specific animal—you can apply with criteria that suits your heart's desires: size, breed, age, or even energy level! Our team will keep your application on file and reach out when a fluffball meets your wishes! How fabulous is that? Now, patience is vital during this journey. While you’re eagerly awaiting that perfect furry friend, know that it might take a couple of weeks for our team to process everything, but it’s all for the best! 🌈 We’re committed to making the right match, so take a deep breath, enjoy the process, and know that we’re in this together! Once your application is approved (and that wonderful moment arrives!), the fun really starts! 🎊 You’ll get to meet Finch and perhaps even some other delightful creatures who may also steal your heart. Just remember—the whole family should come for compatibility checks, and every existing pet needs to meet Finch too! 🐶🐱 This is all about ensuring that love feels just right. Before your new companion enlivens your life, they’ll need to be spayed or neutered, which could take a few days, but don’t worry—we’ll keep you updated! If Finch is already adopted, they might even go home the same day! Isn't that just the cherry on top? 🍒 But rest assured, we’ll make sure you’re thoroughly prepared for the big day! All animals come with a complete checklist of health checks and vaccinations, ensuring your new family member is ready, healthy, and bursting with energy. 💖 Remember, the adoption fee is $150, and this small price opens up a world of love and companionship! So, why wait to change a life? Dive into the joy of adoption and move forward by applying through the Buddy App today! Finch is waiting to be part of your family! 🌟
