Homelessness can be caused by many factors: Some have lost their jobs and homes, mental disorders, addicts, parolees, abused spouses, veterans and teens. Pets provide a deep comfort. Pets are non-judgmental. They are loyal. They provide warmth and security. The homeless get a type of normalcy by providing food and water for their pets. In some cases, they provide them with reality. Some homeless would sacrifice their own food for their pets. Then there is the protection factor. Living on the streets is dangerous especially for women and the disabled. For many on the streets these animals provide them with security from other homeless or from those that discriminate against the homeless with beatings or from others who may steal their modest possessions.
Basic Needs Foundation requires possible adopters to complete an adoption application form. Based on that information, we decide if the home and the pet are compatible before we proceed with the adoption. We conduct home checks for anyone adopting a dog. If all the above is complete and approved, we fill out the contract with the adopter. :) Our fees vary, depending on the age of the pet. Please call us for more information about our adoption fees.
