Adopting an animal is a serious commitment. They may take several weeks to settle into a new environment. They cost money and require lots of love and attention.
Our goal is to help you through the first stages and ensure that you and your new pet will settle into a lifelong happy relationship. Letting us know a little more about you by filling out an adoption form will help a lot.
We may deliver your new friend to you and have a short visit to make sure that there are not concerns for you and your new pet that you had not considered. It is our desire to put the right cat/kitten or dog/puppy into the right home and we assist you in every way possible to do that. We may also do a follow up visit by phone or, if you prefer, in person to be sure that you and your new friend are doing fine and to help you with anything that you have questions about.
The pet that you have chosen will have been fixed, been wormed, had its first rabies shot, and age-appropriate shots. It may also have been treated for fleas or ear mites and may have had other medical care such as distemper vaccine.
You will need to have a veterinarian. If you do not we can give you a list of area vets. He or she does not have to be from the list that we give you but it is good for you to have one in mind for future required immunizations and/or other health concerns. You will need to take your new pet to the vet as soon as you can to complete any needed immunizations and for a general health assessment. We do guarantee the health of the animals we place.
"Spook" was rescued from the owners. She was physically abused as well as neglected. She has been living in a foster home for over two years to help her with her healing process. She is friendly to older women, but cannot be around other pets (dogs or cats). She likes to go outside, but comes in at night. She is spayed and up to date on all her vaccinations. For additional personality and adoption information regarding Spook, call her foster mom, Teresa, at 804-514-4296.
Happy is a young adult cat. She was trapped on a cold rainy night with a large group that a county resident had been feeding. She began to give birth in the trap to kittens and was taken by a foster. The tiny kittens were wet and cold . We tried to warm the kittens, but Happy was the major reason all five survived. She is friendly, well behaved and loves belly rubs and is a good bed companion and a reliable alarm clock. But, she lacked a job after her kittens were adopted. Shy around other adult cats, Happy often spent her days quietly staying out of the way. Enter 3 foster older kittens and Happy became a dynamo nanny. While frolicking like a kitten herself, she watches over the kittens and makes sure they are clean and mind their manners. Happy would be best as the only adult cat in a home but a placement with non-aggressive cats might work well for her. She is not bothered by gentle dogs.
