Shelter to Home started as an informal grassroots effort back in 2006. Our founders were taking a walk around the track at a local school in the middle of winter and came across a mother cat with small kittens under the bleachers. They were animal lovers but didn’t know anything about rescuing animals. Nevertheless, they couldn’t imagine how the mom cat was caring for her babies and surviving in the cold. So they gathered supplies and came back to get the mom and babies.They ended up paying for the care and spay/neuter costs out of their own pockets. But in looking for help and talking with local animal rescuers, they quickly discovered that the shelter system was very broken. Animals were being killed, not sheltered. Fueled by sadness and anger at what they found, they partnered with a few other animal advocates and formed Shelter to Home in 2007. The mission was simple: save animals from being killed at local shelters. Since then, Shelter to Home has rescued over 5,000 animals from local shelters. We provide the care they need and give them the second chance they almost didn’t have.
1. Meet your new love. Meet your new love either at our Pet Adoption Center or online and inquire about the animal you are interested in either using the “ask about me” link online or by speaking with a volunteer at the adoption center. 2. Fill out an application. After inquiring about the animal and determining you are a good match for each other, ask for an adoption application. Our foster parents generally handle the adoptions of the animals they foster, and your application will be routed to them. 3. Discuss with the foster parent. The foster parent will review your application and discuss it with you, usually within 24 hours. If your application is approved and you haven’t met the animal, the foster parent will schedule a meeting and may do a home visit if you are applying for a dog. 4. Live happily ever after. We hope that every adoption results in happily ever after, but if for any reason you are unable to keep your pet, we will always be there for them and will find them a new forever home.
