We have an adoption program to try to find quality homes for pets who are no longer wanted, stray animals that are not claimed and puppies and kittens. We strongly believe in attempting to end the pet overpopulation problem so we require all adopted animals to be spayed or neutered. We also require that these pets receive all necessary vaccinations and preventative care. We do not charge a fee for the pet being adopted, but only for the services it receives.

While we do not require potential pet owners to fill out an application, as some agencies do, we have several requirements for adoption. The pet must be kept indoors, and must either be walked on a leash or allowed only into a fenced yard. We see far too many injuries to pets from cars, gunshots, other animals, and poisoning to allow otherwise. Owners must agree to provide all needed veterinary care for their new family member. We reserve the right to refuse adoption to anyone that doesn’t seem to be the right fit for a particular pet. For instance, a high energy dog would not be appropriate pet for someone living in an apartment that worked 60 hours a week.
We have no time limit on how long a pet can stay with us before it is adopted, but space can become a problem since we are mainly a veterinary clinic and not a shelter.

Pets who have been adopted through our clinic that do not work out with a family for some reason may be returned to the clinic. Because we often become attached to these pets we prefer to have the opportunity to try and place the pets in new homes ourselves so that we can screen potential owners. If a pet is returned to us in good health within two weeks of adoption we will refund the amount of any services performed. After that time we still accept the pet, but no refund will be given.

Please call us to see what pets we have available as they change often.

This month's adoption pet is Lucky (pictured above).
Lucky was running loose when he was hit by a car. Lucky is a beautiful border collie, with all the intelligenge that goes with the breed. While we were able to save Lucky's life, he has what may be, permanent damage that keeps him from having full control of his bladder and bowels. His injuries also forced us to amputate his tail. Because of these problems, Lucky's former owners decided they did not want him anymore, and he has been living at our clinic for almost 5 months now.
Lucky requires a home with a fenced yard, where he can have room to run and and play with his ball. While it is still possible that he may recover fully from his injuries, it is more likely that he will need to have a home where he can live outside, but have lots of attention.
As with all our pets for adoption, Lucky has been neutered and is current on all vaccinations. Please call us if you would like to know more about how you can adopt him, and REALLY make him "Lucky".
