Before You Adopt 

Choosing to adopt a dog or cat into your life is a very important decision. It is a rewarding experience, but also one that requires a lasting commitment. To adopt an AnimalSave dog or cat you must have the time and resources necessary to properly care for the animal. This includes providing adequate nutrition, security precautions, training and veterinary care that will keep your pet happy healthy and safe.

Adoption Procedure 

AnimalSave screens all adoption applicants to ensure the best possible animal placements.  
If you find a dog or cat you are interested in adopting, you must complete an application form and an adoption agreement.    
Due to the amount of time it takes to properly raise a puppy, AnimalSave does not adopt out puppies to families with children under 5 years of age.
Adopting parent must be a responsible adult.
Please understand that AnimalSave reserves the right to deny any adoption for any reason.

Feral (Semi-Wild) Cats in Need of Farm/Barn Homes:

AnimalSave sometimes has outside, unsocialized cats that would love a barn or garage to call home. They need a dry, safe place to sleep, as well as cat food and water. A truly feral cat will probably never tolerate being petted. However, they do learn to trust and will stay close-by, if given adequate time to acclimate. They can provide non-toxic rat and mouse control around your home or farm. They are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and have tested negative for feline leukemia and feline AIDS. If you are interested in giving a couple of feral cats a caring outside home, please call us at 271-7071 ext 206 for more info.
