New Beginnings Animal Shelter's adoption process

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in adopting any of our pets, please email us at adoption@newbeginningsas.org. We will do everything we can to get back with you in a timely fashion. However, we ask for your patience and understanding knowing that all of our volunteers have full time jobs. Questionnaires are reviewed with the best interest of making the right placement for each of our pets. Each family will be reviewed making sure this pet is placed in the best home knowing the pet's individual needs. We do not work on a first come, first serve basis. After questionnaires are reviewed a phone interview and a home visit will be scheduled. Adoption fees varies.

About New Beginnings Animal Shelter

We don't know how Darrin spent his early life. His story begins in Pickerington Ohio, when he was found in below zero weather. That's when a good Samaritan stepped in. Darrin was brought into a warm home and given lots of food, water and love. But what about all of the other unwanted cats and dogs?

In January 2003, the good Samaritan gathered a group of concerned individuals in Fairfield and Franklin Counties to organize a new animal shelter. The Board members of New Beginnings Animal Shelter received their Articles of Incorporation and began planning for their new shelter. We were granted our Federal Tax Identification Number and our 501 (c) 3 Tax Exempt status in 2003. The last two filings with the state have also been completed.

Our goal is to find land and build a shelter. Currently, we are using a foster care system. Fundraising is underway! We receive no government funding. Our revenues are generated from private donations and fundraising efforts. It is the goal of New Beginnings to end the senseless tragedy of euthanizing healthy animals. Our no-kill policy means that animals will not be euthanized as a means of population control or a matter of convenience. However, for an animal that has no hope for a quality life, euthanasia may be the only humane option. New Beginnings Animal Shelter strives to preserve and enhance life. We need the support and help of concerned citizens to become as effective and wide-reaching as possible. We hope you will join us!

OUR PURPOSE◦

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Pickerington, OH.

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.
