If you would like to be considered to adopt or foster a pet, you must first fill out a pre-adoption questionnaire. After we have reviewed your questionnaire and spoken with your present veterinarian and or landlord (where applicable), we will have a volunteer contact you, and do a home visit (for dog adoptions / barn cat adoptions) to answer any questions you may have on training a pet (crate training, housebreaking, obedience, etc.). We want to make sure you have all the information to make a fun and happy transition for your family adding a new pet. Animals are housed with their owners, or remain at an area shelter, and are seen by appointment with their care providers, by pre-approved adopters only. Adoption fees vary from animal to animal depending upon the veterinary care that has been provided to the animal while in the program, typically around $125-$250 for dogs and $50-$75 for cats. Please remember that every animal available for adoption through an A.P.E.-affiliated organization is fully-vetted for its age and only needs routine preventive care. Dogs older than 6 months of age are heartworm tested, all cats are tested for Feluk/FIV; all dogs are kept on heartworm preventative. Every dog and cat is vaccinated for rabies and distemper (age appropriate), microchipped, and de-wormed, in addition to being spayed/neutered.
