Solutions for Animals Inc.

Our Pet List

EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH:

DID YOU KNOW? An estimated 80% of the animals euthanized in the United States are primarily black- Many of which are labeled "UNADOPTABLE" simply because of color... If you are about to adopt a new family member please consider a black dog or cat or bunny when you visit your local shelter!

We at Solutions for Animals, Inc. save as many as we can because we know we can give them the time needed for the right family to find them and get to know them. Enough time for the family to realize that the more colorful dog in the next room is not a good match for their family and lifestyle. Enough time to realize that the typical "Lab Mix" or "Shepherd Mix" that is mostly black and not of a "fancy breed" is in fact the perfect dog for them...

The precious black cats... They're the best! No one ever takes a second look - never asks a question about their personality - never even reaches out to pet them!

The black bunnies are also passed by as though they do not exist!

Choosing a companion animal should never be based on looks... No matter their color on the outside, they all have hearts of rainbow colors! Eyes of golden dreams! And the want to live and blossom with a family all their own!

A wilted red rose, given a little water will stand high in its vase! A many times by-passed black dog, given a kiss on the nose, will stand proud at its humans side!

Make a shelter staff persons day - show some interest in a black companion animal! It just may be the compatible pet for you!

STORY OF HOPE:
"ANTHONY"

Anthony was here at SFA for four years! A family came to our shelter and spent time with 4 different dogs before choosing Anthony… We checked on Anthony weeks later to see how things were working out… His new mommy said she can only say that “He is the most wonderful dog” and “He must have been at the shelter all that time waiting for us to find him!” He waits no more!

Your assistance and generosity allows SFA to continue its mission of rescuing and rehabilitating the homeless, neglected and abused companion animals in our area and elevating the status of animals in society through public education.

Help Us To Help The Animals

Our goal is to provide a "Happy Place" for homeless animals! Fundraisers are held throughout the year and we need your help! Adoption days are held at SFA, on Saturdays from 12pm - 4pm. Appointments to see the animals are available anytime, please call 910-875-7244.

Who We Are

No matter the path that brought them here, the animals have found safety, commitment, love and respect at Solutions for Animals. Some have never experienced these simple acts of kindness and responsibility. Others have, but an unfortunate owner illness or death has left them grieving. We must see them thought their time of need. From here they will be placed into compatible, loving and responsible homes.

Adopting a friend

We are not age discriminate, nor is color or size an issue. However, indoor housing, cleanliness, training, health care, social activities and so much more must be provided daily. We can only take in as many animals as we can properly care for. Saving a life and allowing that life to be neglected of any of the above, is a policy within SFA that will not be compromised. All adoptions are contingent on a completed consideration form and adoption fee's vary based solely on expenses incurred for medical care and rehabilitation of each individual animal. Every animal is spayed/neutered before they leave SFA. If you think you could foster a homeless pet for a short while, please call our hotline for more information 910-875-7244.
