Welcome!
Caring for the lost and unwanted as we try to find each a new forever
home!
This facility houses those animals picked up by Fulton County Animal
Control and owner surrendered animals. The manager is reimbursed for 3
days of stay for each animal after which all expenses come out of the
personal moneys of the manager.
We work with rescue groups when possible to move animals out of this
facility. We consider adoption to applicants outside of this county and
even outside of the state. Rescue groups interested in working with us
are asked to contact us by phone and be prepared to provide basic
information about your organization and its policies.
We have many very adoptable dogs and cats, puppies and kittens and they
are looking for that special person to give them a "ForEver Home".
Could you be that "special person"? All available animals have been
listed on Petfinder.com since April 2006 and have been listed on PETS
911.com as well as on this site beginning in November 2006. Our
available pets have been posted on Purina's Very Best Pet Network
boards in the pet supplies department of Walmart stores in Rochester,
beginning in August 2006, and Wabash, beginning in October 2006.
Low cost spay and neuter surgery services for cats only began in
November 2006 with the scheduling of the NeuterScooter in Fulton County
sponsored by Fulton County Animal Control.
Beginning January 2007, most Found animals received by this facility
are listed on Lostandpound.com in an effort to reunite them with their
owners.
We are constantly striving to improve services for both animals and
adoptee's, expand adoption options with off-site adoption days and
participation in National Adoption events, publicize our facility, its
activities and those animals looking for new homes on the local radio
station and postings in local businesses and community centers.
Discussions for the future will cover more extensive vaccination
services, disease screening, and temperament evaluations, and the
utilization of volunteers.

Animals are available for adoption after the State-required stay at
this facility. An adoption application must be completed. There is an
adoption fee of $35.00 to $50.00 for dogs(some may have a higher fee),
$45.00 for puppies(who will have their first vaccinations), and $15.00
to $20.00 for cats or kittens. Animals have been determined to be fit
for adoption by the manager but are adopted as is. Animals are wormed
and treated for fleas as part of housing management provided supplies
are available. Any purebred animals that are surrendered with their
papers will be adopted out but papers will be given to the new owners
only if the animal has been spayed or neutered or after proof is
presented by the new owners that the surgery has been completed.
Animals that do not work out in the new home may be returned but no
fees will be refunded. Each animals is covered by Petfinders
ShelterCare Pet Insurance and comes with an adoption kit. Should
problems arise following an adoption, please check out information
available through the Petfinders library or by phone. Contact Fulton
County Animal Control with questions at 574-893-4391
We encourage all potential adopters to give serious thought to the
responsibility that comes with giving an animal a permanent long-term
home. Discuss the idea with all members of the family. Animals need
regular veterinarian checks after initial vaccinations and spay or
neuter surgery. There is the cost of food, proper housing conditions,
even if outside, license or tag fees, and knowledge of training and
care.
Give careful thought to adoption if small children are in the
household. Please reconsider adoption if you rent. Get landlord's
approval for an animal and discuss what happens to this animal should
you need to move.
For more information on animals and breeds, visit your local library,
find information on Petfinders.com, Library, or contact Fulton County
Animal Control by calling 574-893-4391
Management reserves the right to refuse adoption to anyone for any
reason. Potential adopters must be 18 years of age or older or come
with their legal guardians before adopting.
If you have given careful thought to taking on the responsibility of
animal guardianship, the rewards you reap will be immeasurable. You can
save a life. Please visit the Fulton County Animal Shelter.
