ADOPT

All of our animals go home spayed/neutered, micro chipped, and up to date on age appropriate shots.

All dogs are heartworm tested once they reach 6 months of age, and all cats are FIV/Leukemia tested regardless of age.

We strive to put our pets into foster homes so they come to you social and potty trained.

Each animal is loved and vetted to the fullest before they become your new best friend.

Our adoption fees are in place to cover these costly vet expenses. Cats are $85, and dogs are $150.

Some special adoption fees apply, and they will be noted under the animal's profile below!

*As a side note, you will often see mostly black/tabby cats and pit bull terrier like dogs or mixes as our adoptable animals. They are the most in need of our rescue and protection! We do get in smaller breeds or specialty kitties from time to time, so be sure you check this website and our Facebook continually!

Thinking About Adopting? Are you ready to adopt? Before you jump in, here are a few things to consider.

So you want to adopt? Be sure to take some time to consider how this new family member will fit into your life and your home.

Commitment
Pets can live a long time. Consider if you and your family are prepared to take the time and effort to give this pet a loving home for the long-run.

Making time
Feeding, playing, grooming and going to the vet all take time. How will this fit into your family’s schedule? What will you do with the pet while you are on vacation?

Money issues
Food, supplies, toys, veterinary care and vacation arrangements can run into the hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year if you have multiple pets. Be sure you understand the financial investment you’ll be making.

Managing behavior
Your new pet will need some time to adapt to his new surroundings. So you will need to actively manage his behavior with training and toys.

Family members
Are all members of the family responsible for care of the pet? Are there any allergy issues to consider? You’ll need to set expectations for everyone in your household.

Other pets
How will the pet fit in with the others in your house? Have they ever interacted with another animal?

Room to grow?
There are considerations related to the space you have available. If you are a renter, does your apartment or house allow pets? Will you have to pay a deposit or other additional fees? You also should make sure there is enough room for your new cat to play.
