HSTV reserves the right to refuse adoption to any person unable or unwilling to comply with these guidelines.
It is one of the goals of HSTV to place as many animals as possible in responsible homes. We want to do only "quality" adoptions. A quality adoption is one in which the pet remains in the home in which we've placed it for the rest of its life and is treated humanely throughout its lifetime. It is neither a kindness to animals nor a benefit to the community for HSTV to place animals in homes where they will fail to receive adequate food, water, shelter, and veterinary care when necessary.
