Our mission is to give animals a good chance to get a forever happy home. We have a no kill policy!
The volunteers work very hard to educate the general public about treating pets more humanely. The volunteers offer advice on, training, feeding, grooming, and much more. Now we offer low cost spay & neuter to anyone needing it, also low cost vaccination clinics on Saturday, call for dates. 863 357-1104
What we do after a pet is surrendered to us or rescued; we temperament test the pet, then we treat the pet for any medical conditions, and grooming. This includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, preventatives such as heartworm & fleas, behavior issues, etc.
When ready the pets are promoted to find a forever home through our adoption process. Our program believes in matching the pet to the right family. The prospective adopter does the pre adoption form, interviewed, then we try to match the pet to the home. If all is acceptable then we proceed with the adoption agreement. The adoption fee is collected; if the pet has not yet been altered a fully refundable deposit is held until the pet has been altered. Spay or neuter, and rabies vaccination is included in the adoption fee.
In many cases home visits are done prior to placement of some pets. Landlord letters are required by renters, ownership must be verified.
