Our mission is to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote respect and compassion for all animals through education. To provide quality homes for cats and dogs through our adoption programs. To reduce euthanasia by saving pets from going to animal control and pulling pets from animal control when resources permit. To provide shelter and care for homeless and unwanted animals, reduce pet overpopulation through spay/neuter and TNR (Trap Neuter Return) of feral cats, and reunite lost animals with their owners. We are an all-volunteer organization. We do not receive any federal, state or city funding. All of our support comes from concerned and involved individuals like you that share our compassion and love for homeless cats and dogs. Precious Pets Almost Home Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. All donations are fully tax-deductible.
The decision to add a pet to your family is a big one. We believe pets are a lifetime commitment and look for adopters that share that belief. The first step in adopting a pet from PPAH is to complete and submit an application. The next step is to arrange to meet the pet that you are interested in adopting. To do so, please EMAIL us at to arrange a meet-and-greet with the pet and a volunteer at whichever adoption center the pet is located. If the pet is in a foster home, a meet-and-greet can set up only after an application is approved. After receiving an application, the adoption counselor completes a screening process. If an applicant is approved, an appointment is made to complete the adoption paperwork and take the pet home. The adoption appointment usually takes place at one of our pet store adoption centers. Processing time can take up to a week. As we are a 100% volunteer-operated organization, and each member of PPAH maintains a full-time job as well a family, your patience is greatly appreciated. We sincerely try to do our best to not only process applications in a timely manner, but also to keep applicants up-to-date as to where they are in the process.
