Adoptions

We want ALL our dogs and cats to find homes.  And here is the place to start looking for that special Haven pet.

Virtual Pets -- aka the "Adoption Option"

This is a VERY important area of volunteerism for the Haven.  We need individuals who can't have pets (or can't have any more) to come to the Haven on a regular basis, at least weekly, and "adopt" an animal by visiting it, walking it, and (with permission from a staff member) taking it on outings.  This helps our animals prepare for eventual adoption.

Adoption Updates

Click on this link to see a few of our happy endings.  In the past year we have averaged 15-20 animal adoptions per month -- congrats to all the lucky pets and families!  We often receive phone calls or notes, or have our adopters drop by Petsmart or the Haven to show off their family pet, or send pictures and stories.  Here are a few.  If you have adopted an animal from the Haven in the past, feel free to send us an email or letter with pictures!  We would like to start a "Haven Alumni" board in our Pet Therapy room to highlight some of our adoptions.

Adoption Long Shots

A few pets are long term Haven residents and some pets live and die here when they have features that make them less appealing to adopters.  Those features may be things such as age, shyness, or an escape artist or two.  We'd love to have a flood of folks who are willing to adopt a "long shot" dog or cat.

Seniors for Seniors Program

We recently began a program to help the senior citizens in our community as well as help some of our senior dogs find a home.  More information on our program can be found in this section.
