Adopt a Pet

PAWS always has numerous dogs and cats available for adoption. Most of them are pictured in our gallery of dogs and gallery of cats.

Everyone interested in adopting a pet from PAWS must complete an adoption application before they come in to see pets. Makes the process go a bit smoother and helps us get a better idea of what your needs are. This way we can try to determine what pets might be a good match for your situation. Not all pets are suited for all homes & vice-versa. Also, if we have your application ahead of time and any info is missing, we can get it resolved before you come in.

Please allow 24 hours for us to begin processing your application. We will make every attempt to contact you within one week of submitting your application. Once we have your application & have reviewed it, one of the directors will give you a call to set up a time to see the pets.

ADOPTION HOURS:

* We show pets for adoption during the week by appointment.

* We show CATS for adoption on Thursday evenings from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. No appointment is needed.

* We also have open house from 12 noon to 4:00 on Saturdays - no appointment needed.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have other pets, please bring a copy of your Vet records so that we may verify that they are spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations. This is necessary prior to adopting a pet from PAWS in the evening or on the weekends as we are not able to reach most Vets by phone at those times.

We can be flexible if the listed adoption times do not work for you.

When coming to see pets, whether by appointment or during the open house, please expect to spend at least one hour at PAWS with the pets. It is important that you spend time with the pets in order to select a pet that is a good match for your family.

The adoption applications can be found at Cat adoption application or Dog adoption application.

ADOPTION FEES: Effective July 1, 2008

The adoption fee helps us defray the cost of the animal's food, boarding and medical care. Any additional donation you would like to make above the adoption fee is greatly appreciated. Your contributions are tax deductible.
