About Us
Objectives
Adopt-A-Pet, Inc’s long term goals are to continue to find loving homes for homeless dogs and cats as well as assist people in the community to find homes for their personal animals. In addition, we will continue to educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering their pets as well as proper pet care. We will continue to work with other shelters in our area to turn all shelters into “no-kill” for healthy, adoptable animals.
Adoption Policies
Adopt-A-Pet adoption policies are stricter than many people expect. We believe all pets deserve to live in a clean and loving home where their presence is valued and contributions to their human companion are acknowledged. For this reason:
- We carefully screen all adoption applicants.
- We adopt only to homes where the pet will live indoors. We do not allow pets to be left outdoors while their owners are at work or away for long periods.
- All pets are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Any other pets in the same household must also be spayed or neutered. We reserve the right to do a home check at any point after the adoption.
- Some of our pets are older or have a medical condition. Special requirements of the adoptive family may have to be met.
- We reserve the right to refuse any adoption and the foster home has a final say in all adoptions.
Adoption Fees
Fees start at $100. This includes spay/neuter, shots, worming and heartworm, or FIV/FeLV tests. “Relocation” animals are relinquished by their owner and have not been in a foster home. The price is the same and includes spay/neuter if not already done. Usually shots are up to date by the owner so those are not included.
We have a special Senior Friends program. If a person is over 65 and in financial need we will adopt a cat or dog over the age of 5 and waive the fee. We ask if they are able to give us a donation.
Since 2003, Adopt-A-Pet found loving homes for over 1500 cats and dogs and funded veterinary care for some very sick animals.
