Pet Adoption Age Verification & Application

Simplify Pet Adoptions with Smart Age Verification & Payment Processing

Finding the right home for adoptable pets requires thorough vetting, clear communication, and efficient processing. This Pet Adoption Age Verification & Application template is designed specifically for animal shelters, rescue organizations, and pet rehoming services that need to verify adopter eligibility, assess living situations, and collect adoption fees—all through a single, professional form.

Built for Animal Welfare Organizations

Whether you're a small rescue operation or a larger shelter, this template handles the complete adoption workflow: confirming the applicant meets minimum age requirements, gathering detailed housing information to ensure pets will have safe environments, collecting veterinary and personal references, and processing adoption fees securely through Stripe or PayPal.

The conditional logic built into this form ensures you only ask relevant follow-up questions based on housing type, pet ownership history, and household composition, creating a smoother experience for applicants while gathering all the critical information your team needs to make informed placement decisions.

Automate Post-Submission Workflows with Stepper

Once an application is submitted, you can use Stepper to automate reference checks, send confirmation emails to applicants, notify foster carers or shelter staff, and trigger follow-up tasks like home visits or meet-and-greet scheduling. Stepper's AI-native workflows mean your small team can process more applications without adding manual administrative burden.

Secure Payments & Compliance

With built-in payment processing, you can collect adoption fees, deposits, or donations directly within the form. Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and trusted by nonprofits and animal welfare organizations worldwide, ensuring donor and adopter data is handled with care.

This template is perfect for animal rescues, shelters, foster networks, and pet rehoming coordinators who want a professional, secure, and efficient way to place animals in loving homes.
