American Welfare Association

ADOPT!

All dogs, cats and rabbits are spayed or neutered and dogs and cats are vaccinated prior to adoption. A microchip and free registration on the 24 Petwatch national database is included in the adoption fee.  Pets are also treated for fleas and dewormed, and dogs are Heartworm tested.  Deworming and vaccinations, particularly for puppies or kittens, often involves a series of treatments that should be completed at the adoptive family’s veterinarian’s office. 

Dogs and cats are enrolled in a pre-paid, one month pet insurance plan with Shelter Care pet insurance. 

Free to a Great Home Adoption Program - The Free to a Great Home adoption program was introduced to help find homes for animals with certain age, health or behavior challenges by offsetting the cost of saving a life.  This program allows you to assist the animals who are in the greatest need by waiving the cost of the adoption fee.  

Adopt One, Get a Second Best Friend for Free The Adopt One, Get a Second Best Friend for Free program allows adopters to take home two best friends for the price of only one!  (This program applies to cats, bunny rabbits and small animals) 

Super Pets! - The Super Pets! adoption program reduces the adoption fee for great (adult) animals who have been in the shelter for more than thirty days for one reason or another.  They are great pets who may have been over looked!  Animals over the age of five months are eligible for the Super Pet adoption program.

All dogs and puppies are assigned a "Canine-ality" that is used to match each dog with the perfect home.  For safety, dogs need to go home with a buckle collar and a leash and cats need to go home with a collar and in a carrier.  These items can be purchased at the shelter office. A free ID tag comes with each dog and cat adoption.
