Adoption Policies
Adopt-A-Pet's 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 to ensure the right match for the animal.  We adopt to homes where the pet will live indoors as a family member.

• Pets are not to be left outdoors while their guardians are not home.

• All pets are fixed prior to adoption. There are no exceptions to this rule. It is strongly recommended that pets in the same household are spayed or neutered.

• We reserve the right to do a home check at any point after the adoption.

• Some of our animals are older or have medical conditions. Special requirements of the adoptive family may have to be met.

• If we feel it is not the best match for the animal and/or the adopter, Adopt-A-Pet, Inc. reserves the right to refuse any adoption and the foster home has a say in all adoptions.

 

Adoption Fees

Adoption fees range from $40 to $500, depending on factors like age, medical needs, and length of stay. Any higher fees due to medical care are fully transparent.

All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested, dewormed, treated for fleas, and microchipped prior to adoption.
We also offer a special Senior Friends program.

We accept credit cards and cash.

 

Senior Friends Program

Animals enrich our lives—improving mental well-being, encouraging activity, and providing companionship. Older pets are often overlooked, yet they tend to be calmer, require less exercise, and are already well-adjusted.

​

Adopt-A-Pet, Inc. proudly offers our Senior Friends Program for individuals over 60 on a fixed income with no other pets. Qualified adopters may receive a waived adoption fee for an eligible dog or cat, with all medical care completed. We carefully match each pet to the individual’s needs.

​

Donations are always appreciated to help sustain this program.
