***We are open by appointment only at this time for preapproved applicants. If we are not fully booked we will accept walk ins and clients who are not preapproved***

Why should you adopt?

Animal adoption saves lives! When you adopt, you save a loving animal by making them part of your family and open up shelter space for another animal who might desperately need it. Shelters and rescue groups are brimming with happy, healthy pets just waiting for someone to take them home. Adopt a dog or cat and get a friend for life.
*** At this time we are only accepting Wishlist applications for our Puppy and Kitten Wishlist. We have many adult dogs and cats available for adoption, you can apply for a specific adult animal in the shelter. When this changes we will let you know***

Adoption Fees
***As of February 1, 2023, we have had to implement a slight change in pricing. Due to our costs rising we have had to increase some of our prices. We have also added some special pricing and discounts. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, however, in order to keep the shelter going this was a necessary change.
Thank You for your understanding and continued support! ***

Our Policies

 

Spay/Neuter

Forever Paws spays or neuters all cat and dogs for adoption. Small animals may or may not be altered. In the event that a cat or dog is unable to be altered prior to adoption, for medical or other reasons, the animal will be then considered a "Foster to Adopt" until the animal is ready to be altered. Once altered, the adoption will be finalized. While in "Foster to Adopt" status, the animal is still  legally owned by Forever Paws Animal Shelter.

Adoption

• All potential adopters must fill out an Adoption Application.

• All applications will be checked completely. Homeownership, landlord, veterinary references etc. will be checked during the process. 

• Animal are NOT adopted on a "first come, first served" basis.

• Animals will be matched with the best adopter for their individual needs.

• All adopters will be required to sign an Adoption Contract before bringing a new pet home.

• Before consideration for adoption, all animals are evaluated by staff for obvious signs of health and/or behavior problems; however, the shelter cannot guarantee the health or temperament of any animal.

Animal Surrender

Forever Paws has contracts with local towns and animal control officials to accept their stray and homeless animals. Due to our limited space we cannot accept an unlimited number of animals from the general public. Please call to inquire about our availability, surrender wait list or scheduling an appointment.
