Featured Pet Click on Jake's picture to learn more about him. Jake Jake is definitely "Mr. Personality" and he adores: people, petting, walks and playing ball...and playing ball....and playing ball! When Jake came to us from the shelter he was pretty stiff from arthritis but after a week in a loving, warm foster home, he's moving more comfortably and getting up and down more easily although we suspect he may be on anti-inflammatory meds for the rest of his life. Jake loves going for walks and is great on a leash. He likes all types of toys and treats. Jake is deaf, but he has learned to compensate for it so well, that it was several weeks before anyone realized he couldn't hear! Deaf dogs make wonderful companions and there are lots of resources for deaf dog families.

News

2006 was a good year for over 250 dogs that found a safe haven through PAN and our first year in cat rescue, 50+ kitties is something we are very proud of. We had a very active 2007, transporting 160 animals to other shelter resources and re-homing over 100 animals. As a much smaller group, we found forever homes for over 90 dogs in 2008!!! We are specializing in owner surrenders brought on by the economy, and 2009 is already very active. We continue to have great hope for all animals in need and are most grateful to our partners in rescue and are excited to start another good year for rescue animals.

Who We Are

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.

What are Adoption Fees Used For?

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.
