ADOPTION PROCESS
Where is the shelter? We do not believe in sheltering animals because living in a cage or run 24/7 is an unpleasant experience for the animals. The animals live in temporary foster homes where they are treated like a member of the family.
We are a no kill organization.
Our goal is to find good homes AND to make a good match. Please take the pets personality into consideration before their looks. Please trust our judgement. We are only trying to help you. If you are interested in becoming the guardian of one of our pets, please send an email requesting an application to:
Email:
saintseton@hotmail.com
You have the option of having the home visit done before or after meeting the pet. However, we must review and approve your application before we will arrange the visit with the foster parent.

FEES: The minimum donation for dogs is $250.00. The minimum donation for cats is $150.00.

Whatever your religious beliefs, please pray for homeless animals
Holy Saint Jude, Apostle and Martyr, Great in virtue and rich in miracles. Near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need. To you I seek recourse from the depths of my heart and humbly beg to whom God has given such great power to come to the assistance of disadvantaged people and their pets and to help us find the strength and energy to help them each day. Amen.
SURRENDERING A PET
We currently only have room for small dogs. The economy is devastating for the animals who are being surrendered by the second! Do be prepared for a temperment test. We are extremely careful about the dogs we accept into our program. Do NOT surrender you dog for lack of food or medical care. If that is the reason, we can help you until you get on your feet. It is a quid pro quo. We expect community service hours in return for this assistance (not unlike many local human charities).
FOR A FREE LISTING ON OUR WEBSITE: Please email large, clear photos of your pet and a description that includes likes and dislikes, overall health, temperment, training and when the pet last received vaccinations and whether the pet is spayed/neutered. Also, include how you wish to be contacted. There is no charge for the listing.
