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 continue to educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering their pets as well as proper pet care. We have programs to help reduce the amount of animals euthanized in over crowded shelters.  We will continue to work with other shelters to find ways to reduce the amount of animals killed in over crowded shelters each day.  We look forward to a day when there will be No More Homeless Pets!

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 as a family member. We do not allow pets to be left outdoors while their guardians are at work or away for long periods.
• All pets are fixed prior to adoption. Any other pets in the same household must also be spayed or neutered. NO EXCEPTIONS.  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.

Together, we make a difference in the animal’s lives.  We need you to continue the amazing work we have.  In 2010, Adopt-A-Pet, Inc. found homes for over 825 animals in addition to helping many very sick animals that would not have made it without your support.
