Template FAQs
Common questions about the Home Check & Suitability Assessment Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.
What is a home check for adoption?
A visit — in person or virtual — to confirm a home is safe and suitable for the particular pet being adopted. It checks things like secure fencing, the environment, and how a new pet would fit with the household and any existing animals.
What does the home check assess?
Secure outdoor space and fencing, the home environment, other pets and introductions, where the pet would sleep and spend its day, and any adaptations needed — all judged against the specific animal’s needs.
Why is the check tied to a specific pet?
Because suitability depends on the animal — a high-energy dog, a cat that needs calm, a rabbit that needs a secure run all need different things. The assessment matches the home to that pet, not pets in general.
Does a home check mean my home must be perfect?
Not at all — it’s about safety and suitability, not showroom standards. The rescue often suggests simple adjustments, like a gate or secure fencing, rather than ruling a home out.
Can home checks be done virtually?
Yes — many rescues do virtual checks via video call, which this form supports just as well. It records the same things whether the check is in person or on screen.
Is the assessment form free?
Yes — free with a Fun Forms account, fully customisable, and ready to use on any device.
