Today's Treasures Rescue and Adoption

Today’s Treasures Rescue and Adoption (TTRA) is a small group of volunteers dedicated to helping discarded pets find permanent forever homes. Because there is an abundance of homeless animals in Alabama, we have chosen, as a starting point, the animals in Chilton County. We rescue pets from the often overcrowded Humane Society in Clanton. We attempt to educate the public on responsible pet ownership. We do not ever make a profit from our adoption fees. Any extra money we may receive (whether by the adoption fee or private donations) ONLY goes to further our rescue efforts.

When TTRA accepts a new pet into its program, our first goal is evaluating health and temperament. A complete medical examination is given by a licensed veterinarian. All pets are given basic shots and de-worming, including rabies vaccine if over four months of age. Dogs over six months are heartworm tested and started on monthly preventative, if negative. All pets will be spayed or neutered prior to adoption with the ONLY exception being puppies or kittens too young for surgery. Then, a mandatory spay/neuter contract must be agreed upon and a certificate purchased. All known health issues will be disclosed to potential adopters.

Each "treasure" goes into foster care for temperament evaluation. Here we find out what their personalities are really like. We closely observe our foster pets. We test them for food aggression, difficulties with cats, other dogs, children, etc. We get to know our foster pets in order to place them in the home best suited for their needs.

Additional adoption info

How To Adopt... The first step in adopting from TTRA is submitting the Pre-adoption Questionnaire. You must fill it out completely. A volunteer will review the information and check your vet reference. One of us will contact you--usually the foster parent of the pet you are interested in. However, if you do not receive a reply after three days, let us know. Most of us have full-time jobs and care for numerous pets in our spare time.

Our goal is to match the pet to the home that most closely suits the animal’s needs. If you are not approved for a pet that you are interested in, it means we believe the animal would be happier in a different environment. We want everyone to be happy. Our rescued pets have been through so much in their little lives, they need this next home to be forever.

Adoption Fees… Adoption fees will vary from pet to pet. Our fees are determined by how much of our own dollars are spent getting each "treasure" ready for adoption. The individual foster home will reasonably set its own adoption fee based on these costs.
