Just as we are committed to providing our adoption candidates with the finest sugar gilder joeys, we are equally committed to placing our joeys with dedicated owners in responsible homes. Our sugar glider joeys are available for adoption by loving pet owners only. To ensure good homes, all prospective adoption candidates are required to complete our application process including, but not limited to: personal information, landlord authorization, a veterinary reference, proof of basic sugar glider knowledge, and an adoption contract. We reserve the right to deny any adoption, without explanation, at any time prior to signing the adoption contract by electing to refund all money previously received toward the joey. Our sugar glider joeys will not be held until a $75 deposit is received. Deposits will only be accepted from approved candidates after the joey is out of pouch (oop). All deposits are non-refundable. Our joeys do not leave their mothers until 10 weeks oop, or until they are fully weaned, whichever is longer. All males in related male-female pairs must be neutered at the new owners expense prior to leaving our possession. Prospective owners are encouraged to visit their new adoptees by appointment at Glider Grove. However, payment in full is required before you can take your baby glider home and prior to us shipping your new joey. Personal checks are not accepted. All sugar glider joey adoptions, that do not require shipping, must be completed within 2 weeks of weaning. After the 2-week time period has ended, any deposit on the joey will then be considered forfeited and the joey will be offered to the next eligible candidate on our waiting list. We prefer not to ship our joeys. However, if shipping should be necessary, we insist on shipping safely. As for sugar glider joey adoptions that do require shipping, they must be completed within 1 month of weaning. After the 1-month time period has passed, any deposit on the joey will then be considered forfeited and the joey will be offered to the next eligible candidate on our waiting list. We do not sell our joeys to pet stores or as gifts. Due to federal regulations regarding the breeding of sugar gliders, Glider Grove recommends the adoption of same sex pairings or neutered male-female pairings for all owners not currently licensed by the USDA to breed gliders. In an effort to prevent accidental breeding and to promote neutering of our male joeys, The Sugar Shack offers a $15 rebate to all owners who choose to have their adopted Glider Grove male neutered by 8 months oop. Veterinary proof of the neuter is required and the male glider must not be bred prior to the neuter in order to be eligible. We require all potential owners to be at least 18 years of age in order to adopt, or over 14 years of age with a parent signing as the responsible party. All Glider Grove sugar glider joeys come complete with a wellness warranty. |
