Featured PetClick on Lucky's picture to learn more about him. LuckyMeet Lucky and he really has a story to tell! Lucky was one of 9 puppies born in a barn - a gas heater tipped over and the barn caught on fire. His momma grabbed a puppy and carried him out - the rest of them died so he really is a lucky boy! He is now 3 years old, a black lab/chow mix and his family had to move into an apartment and couldn't keep him. So Lucky is living up to his name once again since PAN has taken him into rescue! He LOVES to chase a ball and will bring it back, but hesitates a little in giving it up. Of course he's just getting used to his foster family. He also loves to have his back and neck scratched! |
Upcoming Events Our regular adoption event days are the 3rd Sunday at Corvallis Petco store and 3rd Saturdays at the Albany Petco store. Other events are shown on the calendar link above. 2009 Adoption Results Pet Adoption Network assisted 135 dogs during 2009, compared to 99 dogs in 2008. We're always striving to do better. If you want to help us make 2010 an even better year, please contact us and we'll see how you can work with our team. Recent Contributions: PAN has received a grant from Petco Foundation to help with the cost of low-income medical needs. We pay for a certain amount out of our regular adoption fees, and this will make that go further. Thanks PETCO Foundation!!! PAN also received a donation from SitStay.com for our rescue group. We were allowed a $200 selection of products along with free shipping from our partner SitStay.com. Thank you very much!!! |

PAN does not have a shelter and works exclusively out of foster homes, which are always in short supply. Foster Homes provide a lifeline for our adoptable pets while we become acquainted with their needs and capabilities, and search for their forever home. We are able to provide some resources to our foster homes, and we do conduct home visits before placing animals.
2009 was an exceptionally busy year assisting over 135 animals!!! That's quite an accomplishment for our small rescue group. The final tally for 2008 was 99 animals, the first year of our reorganized smaller group. We are specializing in dogs that don't do well in a shelter environment and owner surrenders brought on by the economy, and 2010 is already very active. We continue to have great hope for all animals in need and are most grateful to our partners in rescue.

Pet Adoption Network is an IRS designated 501c3 non-profit organization. We work effectively through a network of services and support. Pet Adoption Network is not a shelter and does not have a facility. Animals in our care are placed in foster homes while they receive medical attention and lots of love until they are up for adoption. We assist the public with re-homing their pets, (with sufficient advance notice), as well as finding the perfect pet for those who are wishing to provide a permanent home for an unwanted animal. We are also available to assist shelters and rescue groups who are overwhelmed and need to find placements for some of their animals. We offer help to the public as well as extra publicity for rescue groups and local shelters. Our goal is to help animals in transition so they do not end up in dangerous situations and to provide assistance to shelters if an animal is in danger of euthanasia or needs special attention. We support shelters and frustrated families by being a resource for training, veterinary help or contacting rescues.
We've been asked numerous times about our "adoption fee" - Why are the rates different? or, Why so much? Our only resources are from adoption fees and donations. We do not receive any support from local government, or taxes of any kind. We also offer discounted fees for senior and disabled applicants.
Adoption Fees primarily pay for medical costs for our animals - they are always spayed or neutered or if too young, we follow-up to ensure that does take place, when appropriate. Surrendered pets are usually not up to date on vaccinations and we provide most all vaccines except Rabies. Microchips are implanted either with other surgery or separately. We also pay for special medications that a particular animal may require or treatment for neglectful situations they may come from. We also assist foster homes with collars, leashes, bedding, crates, kennels and environmental needs like a heated den if the dog has very short fur. Additionally, there are operating costs for supplies, registration fees and costs for staging events. We also incur some very high medical expenses for animals that come in injured that far exceed any adoption fee that we will recover on that particular animal, but when it is possible to ensure a quality of life, we do have a small reserve for extraordinary costs.
We DO NOT pay salaries for staff, all efforts are performed with volunteer assistance, on volunteer time, in personally owned vehicles. We occasionally pay transportation costs to volunteers, but not as often as they deserve. We do a lot of travel, doing home checks, transporting animals to their forever homes, and adoption events. We are committed to the animal and their well-being, making sure that they are adopted into a loving and able family.
