Your friends, family, and vet (if you have one) are called to make sure you are able and ready to take care of a pet and, if you have had a pet in the past, that that pet was taken care of. All current and past pets must be/have been up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed or neutered. Personal references provide us with a better picture of your home and family life to ensure the pet you applied for is a fit. We will not consider any applications that do not provide at least 2 references and a vet reference, if you have had a pet previously.
