Lightbulb For Adoption/Re-home: How safe is your pet?

It may be hard already to keep your pets with several reasons.
It is a jungle out there. You will have no guarantee that your pet is safe at a new home.
If you absolutely can’t keep your pet, consider working with a no-kill rescue.
Please do not desperately give up your pet to anyone.
Rule out all the potential callers.
Is there any guidelines to screen potential person?
Yes there is.
In fact you can get a copy of guidelines that would be able to assist you. **Please refer to this link: http://www.bestfriends.org/nomorehom...mesforpets.pdf
Set up a fixed adoption fee. It would be good to learn a person's financial background. They should be able to meet your pet's nutrition and health.
I don't know if it practiced here, but in states, even a closest friend of mine would likely to ask to sign a contract of agreement (both agreed to all the conditions) before re-homing her pet to me.
I am not a lawyer and this isn’t legal advice, but a basic private re-homing agreement should include:

1. A guarantee from the adopter that the pet will have food, water, shelter, and adequate vet care at all times, and that the pet will never be beaten or chained.
2. A statement that the prior owner may conduct one visit within six months to the pet in order to ensure that it is getting adequate care, and if at that time the pet appears to be suffering from abuse or neglect, the prior owner may take it back.
3.A guarantee from the adopter that the pet will never be taken to a shelter that practices euthanasia of adoptable animals.
4. A paragraph dealing with the transfer of any papers or registration the pet has, if applicable.
5. Any health guarantee or “warranty” you plan to transfer; if none, a paragraph stating that the prior owner doesn’t guarantee the pet’s health or behavior and is not liable for any expenses or problems in the new home.
5. A statement that if the pet escapes or is stolen, the adopter will take all reasonable steps to find it, including checking local shelters.
6. A guarantee from the adopter that if they can no longer keep the pet, the prior owner has first right of refusal.
7. A guarantee from the adopter to ask your assistance when the adopter can no longer keep your pet.

Hence, if the adopter do not like the agreement in the 1st place , sincerity and patience is already being questioned.
It is your rights to find your pet a good home better than yours.
That's why you put up your pet for adoption in the first place.
