Copper is such a sweet soul. He is used to lounging on the couch and in bed with his family so he really doesn't understand what has happened - why she lost her home and him and why she is so sad. He loves to go for car rides and once he settles down he loves attention. Copper loves to play with other dogs but can play pretty rough. He is about three years old so not too hyper. He is a lab/hound so very loving. He is good with kids. Please come meet him soon - even though he has a place to stay with heated floors, a nice bed off the floor, plenty of toys and many walks a day it still isn't a family. Please call our center at 810.629.0723 or email jodydogger@comcast.net for an application.
About Us
Adopt-A-Pet Inc. is a growing, non-profit, animal rescue located in Fenton, MI whose mission is to assist the community by providing a means to place unwanted pets in good family environments and to make the public aware of such animal issues as care, welfare, and the hazards of overpopulation. For over 20 years we have been working diligently to save the lives of hundreds of homeless, sick and abused animals. We never euthanize for space. We have puppies, dogs, cats and kittens for adoption at our center on Sundays from 1pm to 4pm. You may also visit our in-house pets during the week, Monday through Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
All of the animals are spayed/neutered prior to adoption (no exeptions) and up to date on all age appropriate vaccines and medical. We help people in the community find homes for the pets they can no longer keep, we rescue pets before they are euthanized and take in abused or abamdoned animals. The Adopt-A-Pet center is located at 13575 Fenton Rd in Fenton. We will be happy to do adoptions at our Center Monday through Thursday 10 am to 3 pm or Sundays between 1pm and 4pm during our open adoption.
Our Programs
We are proud to share three programs our organization offers.
Adoptions - whether it be a dog, puppy, cat or kitten, we have it. All of our animals are spayed or neutered prior to adoption and up to date on age appropriate vaccines, medical and are microchipped. We are looking for the best match for the animal and the family and not just any home or animal will do. We look at the animal's needs as well as the adoptive person's needs. Every decision that is made is always made in the animal's best interest. We require all of the potential adopter's current animals be spayed or neutered prior to adoption. We also require either speaking to an apartment/park manager or a copy of the lease stating animals are permitted. We strongly encourage dogs meeting prior to adoption to ensure compatibility. Adding an animal to your current family is a big decision and comittment. It is a wonderful, exciting and sometimes stressful time. We ask that anyone interested in adopting research what all is entailed prior to making this life long decision. Adoption fees for adult cats is $100 and kittens under six months are $120. Exotic breeds are $140. Large mixed breed adult dogs are $150, small breeds under 25 pounds and purebred dogs are $250 and all puppies are $200. All testing, sterilizing and medical is included.
Trap Neuter Return (TNR) - we're excited that this program has been so successful in the past year and a half. We have an incredible veterinarian on staff who is committed to helping to reduce the over population with spaying and neutering community cats (stray or feral) at a reduced fee. This program is run strictly on donations so we do request a donation to provide this service. There must be a caregiver for the cats feeding at least once a day and have some form of shelter for them. The cats must not be owned or family pets. Each cat will be ear tipped according to the national standard and released back to the owner. On rare occasions Adopt-A-Pet may have room to take in one of the cats but please don't count on this. Please go to our website at www.adoptapetfenton.com and download an application or contact our center at 810-629-0723 and leave a message with your name and address to have an application mailed to you.
Spay Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) - We're excited to kick this program off this year. We are committed to help our community and surrounding communities with the amount of animals being turned into local shelters. We believe spaying and neutering is the answer. For those people with financial need (which you must prove) we offer a severly discounted spay or neuter fee. We will also give rabies vaccines. Spaying and netuering not only helps with the overpopulation problem it also allows for a healthier pet. Spaying/neutering can greatly decrease the chances of cancers and infections. If you know of anyone in need please share this information. Call our Adopt-A-Pet center in Fenton at 810-629-0723 and leave your name and address and ask for a SNAP application or more information.
