Stop the Suffering's adoption process
Additional adoption info
Our Adoption Process
Each dog and cat in our rescue group is special. Every one has it's own unique personality and needs. Not every dog or cat is right for every home. Our adoption process is designed to make sure you and your new pet will have a successful future together.
ASSESSMENT: MATCHING DOG AND ADOPTER
- Adopter discusses the dog or cat of choice with an STS adoption specialist.
- The STS adoption specialist discusses the needs and temperament of dog with individual/family.
- Both needs of the dog or cat and the criteria of the family are very carefully assessed to assure the best match possible. Items considered include:
-- Temperament and age of dog or cat
-- Veterinary/health needs of dog or cat
-- Individual/families desires and perception of the perfect pet
No match is “perfect” but STS strives for the best match possible.
-- Ability of individual/family to meet the veterinary, daily-living, behavioral and emotional needs of the dog or cat.
- STS visits the home of any adoptive family. If the family lives out of state, STS may arrange for another local rescue to conduct the home visit.
- Other means of assessment include:
-- Veterinary reference
-- Personal references by two to three individuals who know the adopter and the adopter’s capability to provide a loving home for an animal

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
