MHF has many wonderful animals who would love to join your family. You are welcome to fill out our application form online. After reviewing
your application, an MHF Adoption Counselor will schedule a visit for you to meet and greet some of the animals
in our care. You may also call us at (540) 364-3272 or email us: mhfdtn@earthlink.net to provide your general information - home & yard size, current animals,
children in household and what you are looking for in a cat, dog or horse.
CANINE/FELINE
CANINE - All dogs are current on vaccines, dewormed, heartworm negative, flea/tick free and
(if over 4 months of age), spayed or neutered prior to being released. Puppies return to us for spay or neuter at 4 months
of age. We ask for a $100.00 non-refundable adoption donation to help cover some of the medical costs.
FELINE - All cats
are feline leukemia and feline aids negative, vaccinated, dewormed, flea/tick free and spayed or neutered prior to being released
if over 4 months of age. Kittens return to us for spay or neuter at 4 months of age. We ask for an $80.00 non-refundable adoption
donation to help cover some of the medical costs. We love for cats to have companions so we offer the "buddy program" - 2
cats or kittens for the adoption donation of $80.00

We do not release animals on the first visit.
After meeting an animal, we ask that you and your family go home and discuss the prospective addition to your family. Call
us the following day with your decision.
We will then do a reference check and for equines, a home check.
If you are a current cat or dog owner, we will speak with your veterinarian to confirm that your animal(s) are current on
vaccines and spayed or neutered. Please note: MHF reserves the right to deny adoption for any reason at its sole discrection
and is not obligated to state any reason for such denial.
HORSES & OTHER LIVESTOCK
When placing livestock, MHF
ensures that each animal is situated into a home that best suits that animal's needs. MHF visits the facility where the animal
will be housed and sends the animal home for a foster period before finalizing adoption. This gives the animal and the
adopted a chance to bond. Animals adopted from MHF cannot be used for breeding or racing and cannot be sold or given
away. We also maintain a lifelong commitment by requiring adopters to complete an annual report. Equine adoption donations
range from $100 to $1000 depending on expenses incurred by MHF for rehabilitation. Other livestock adoption fees are based
solely on expenses incurred for rehabilitation.

If you are
interested in adopting an equine or other livestock:
A Livestock Adoption Questionnaire must be submitted to
Middleburg Humane Foundation. You must also review the Preliminary Terms for Livestock Adoption. A Middleburg Humane
Foundation representative will have you sign both documents upon completion of the home check.
