Our Goal
We are dedicated to a successful, lifetime placement of our animals to loving, committed homes. A new pet is a lifelong commitment and we take that seriously. We are selective, and carefulkeeping the animal's best interest in mind. We strive to make the best, most committed placement possible. So, when you show up at our Center be prepared to answer many personal questions and provide references.

Adoption Process
We implement an application screening process with a mandatory 24-hour waiting period. If approved, you start a 10-day trial adoption. If you decide to finalize the adoption, you return to the Center and sign for all applicable records.
 
Adopting a Shelter Animal
These are sheltered, homeless animals and are not perfect in any way. They may need extra time to adjust or have unforeseen behavioral or medical problems. While we strive for successful placement by providing as healthy, well socialized animals as possible, we can only provide any history we have received, collected, or observed from staff or volunteers during their stay.

Why is There an Adoption Fee?
We must be able to cover the costs involved in caring for the animals we house. These costs include feeding, exams, vaccinations, medications, licensing, spaying or neutering, processing, and regular shelter maintenance. We depend on these adoption fees and donations to cover these costs. If a relatively small adoption fee causes the prospective pet owner concern, then he or she very well may not be prepared to make the financial commitment required of responsible pet owners.

  U.S. Shelter Facts:
An estimated 4-7 million
adoptable dogs and cats
are euthanized in the
United States each year
at least twice as many
enter shelters.
The top 5 reasons
animals end up in a
shelter are:
1. Moving
2. Rental manager/owner
doesn't allow pets
3. Personal/financial
problems, allergies,
divorce, not enough
time, or job change.
4. Too many animals
5. Cost
(Anchorage Animal Care and Control has a list of "pet-friendly" rental properties: call 343-8118.)
