Adoption Application
This is where you can apply for a joey or rescue. None of these questions automatically disqualify you- I just need to know where you stand so I can get a better idea of how to help you out. Please answer as honestly as you can. Even if you do not wish to adopt one of my gliders, if you would like help in searching for babies or rescues, please fill this out. In the section where it asks which glider you want, please explain what you are looking for in a glider.
PLEASE READ
! These questions are things you need to know. It is perfectly okay for you to look up these answers on the internet if you don't know! It's not cheating- I want you to know these things so that you can better care for your glider. Take the time to look them up if you aren't sure- if you aren't willing to take the time to do this, I'm not willing to take the time to find you a glider. I've spent hours reading over these applications and correcting things- but after doing this time after time, I've realized that it's better for you if you look up the answers yourself. You will learn more this way, and I will be more sure that you have actually read it.
