Lifelong Friends Pet Adoptions - Lago Vista Pet Shelter

Lifelong Friends Pet Adoptions is a non-profit 501c(3), no-kill pet rescue center dedicated to preventing animal suffering, rescuing and caring for stray and abandoned dogs and cats and finding homes for these animals, educating the public about responsible pet ownership, and encouraging pet owners to spay and neuter their animals. We refuse to participate in the killing of hundreds of healthy, homeless animals that takes place every 60 seconds in America. In the rare event that a cat or dog has a terminal disease, such as cancer, or it has extensive injuries from which it cannot recover, the animal will be humanely euthanized to prevent suffering. We are a volunteer organization, and it has been your continued support and compassion that has allowed us to manage animal rescue challenges, operate and maintain our facility, and facilitate hundreds of adoptions over the past twenty years.

Adoption Process

Step 1: Complete the Adoption Application Form. Filling out the Information Form is not a commitment to adopt; it is simply the first step in the process. Step 2: Be interviewed by an Adoption Counselor. Our adoption counselors are well trained and are required to ask for detailed information about the potential living arrangements and lifestyle for our animals. This helps both us and you narrow down your options to a dog or cat that will match your current situation, thereby increasing the chances of a successful lifetime commitment for both of you. Step 3: Meet the animals. Step 4: The Review Committee will process your form. Lifelong Friends is not able to accept every application for adoption and reserves the right to reject an application. Applications are PROCESSED on a first come first serve basis but are APPROVED based on which application is the best match for the animal. We have set guidelines for application acceptance and realize that your opinion may differ from ours. Thank you for your understanding. Step 5: If your Adoption Application is approved, you will fill out an Adoption Contract and other important documents, such as the in-house Microchip Registration Form. The Contract is a legally-binding document that spells out your responsibilities as the owner of the pet you are adopting. In addition, the Contract provides you with a record of the medical care that the shelter provided for the animal.
