WHO IS HCPAP?

Hampshire County Pet Adoption Program has been rescuing dogs (cats and rabbits sometimes, too) for over 8 years. We are a non-profit organization maintained solely by volunteers. We are not a shelter. All of our animals are fostered in the homes of our volunteers.   

OUR PURPOSE

is to first rescue abused, neglected, stray, and unwanted dogs, cats, and sometimes rabbits. Secondly, we provide health care, treatment, socialization, and love to each individual animal. Finally, and most importantly, we find responsible owners to adopt these wonderful animals. Our goal is a great home for each animal and a great animal for each home! We also inform and educate both pet owners and non-pet owners in responsible pet interaction, care, and the importance of spaying or neutering of dogs, cats, and rabbits.

WHERE DO OUR ANIMALS COME FROM?

All of our animals are strays or have been released to us by their owners. We also help out local shelters whenever possible. Unfortunately, background history is usually not available.

DO WE EUTHANIZE?

We are fortunate enough to not have to euthanize our animals. We keep them until they find their perfect home. However, because our animals are in foster homes, this does greatly limit the number of animals we are able to rescue.

WHY DO WE FOSTER?

Fostering gives us the unique ability to match these animals with an appropriate owner. We are able to discover the personality of each individual animal and the type of environment they will flourish in. This allows us to determine how your new pet will behave around other animals and children. This also gives us an opportunity to introduce training to each dog.
