Thinking About Adopting! The first thing that you must be aware of is; your tax deductible donation required is used for ALL of the animals that go through the program. Your donation is not based on the vet expenses for the pet you are receiving. (Although we require a minimum) We do not receive ANY money from State, City, County, Political Group or Tax dollars. We are funded by people like you that want to help us help the animals. We think this is the best way; this enables us to make our own rules when it comes to deciding what home is best for each pet. We do not have to kill pets to make room for more, like the place that your tax dollars support in your county, 4 million killed each and every day, WHY? Because there are just too many. Irresponsible owners that let pets roam not neutered or spayed, and allowed to reproduce. Did you know, 1 female cat, not spayed will produce in 5 years, through her offspring and their offspring and their offspring etc. etc. 70,000! We give each and every pet a chance to be adopted, no matter what the age, breed or handicap. We have placed 3 legged cats and one eyed dogs. One cat was 19 years old. They all deserve a loving, safe home and family of their own. We are all volunteers, no one gets paid. All pets are housed in (limited I might add) foster homes;(that’s why we show pets by appointments only) we already have heat, telephone, air conditioning, etc. no one is reimbursed. Adopt-A-Pet Rescue was founded in 1983 by Mrs. Ingmire in Allegan, Michigan. Where we are still based. Linda her daughter is now the Director and also has a large foster home for pets. There is a Ferret Rescue/Adoption Program as well. We have no building to maintain or employees to pay.(that’s why we show pets by appointment only) All pets admitted, receive the medical care needed to prepare them to come to your home, tested for leukemia, or heartworm, shots, spayed or neutered if old enough. They come to us in many ways. Their eyes poked out, broken legs, and hips. Infections. Covered with fleas and ticks. Cancer tumors, arrows still sticking out of their sides. Starving with rib bones sticking out and skin hanging from their shriveled body. You name it we probably have seen it. Some pets are kept in the homes of their owners (until a proper home can be found), therefore we are not able to monitor and/or do some things for them, as we have no control over the situation. That means we may have to do a spay/neuter contract even if the pet is over 6 months. We are somewhat different from most other organizations, we do everything medically that the pet requires, therefore returning it to good health and enabling it to be placed in a loving home. We do everything medically that is recommended by the veterinarian at the age it should be done. We do not kill a pet because it needs costly medical attention. The exception is; if the veterinarian tells us the animal is suffering and there is really no chance for a quality life with dignity. Then we may take his suggestion and EUTHANASIA may take place. This word means stopping pain and suffering. We hear it misused so much, people take their dog or cat to the vet to have it euthenized or put to sleep, because they don’t want it any more, what they really do if have it KILLED. We place approximately 2,000 pets per year. So! when we ask for a donation, please don’t be offended. Or accuse us of being money grubbing, or out for the almighty dollar. What ever progam you choose to support can not continue to do their work without donations.
THE NEXT STEP Now that you know about us, please send an e-mail, to tell us about you! We have no form to fill out. Please be PREPARED to tell us about; your family; children; past history with pets; what you have now; why you want a new pet; what role will it play in your family; if you want a dog; tell me about your yard, fence, etc. What’s your method for housebreaking? Don’t forget your vet references. Who will be the caregiver; do you believe in spaying and or neutering, declawing or free roaming pets. Do you understand the care, bills, grooming, lifetime commitment and patience involved in having a pet. adoptapetrescue@yahoo.com Please insert the name of the pet in your subject matter,or it may not be read.
AFTER THE INTERVIEW We do ship pets if needed. The new owner assumes all expenses involved. An adoption/Agreement will be signed upon adoption. A Spay/Neuter deposit will be collected. ($100) (Michigan State Law) yes! You have to pay it if it is an out of state adoption. This is a good faith deposit and will be returned to you when this has been completed according to the agreement. (NO EXCEPTIONS)
Suggested Donations for Purebreds Usually Start at a minimum of $250.00 (please ask us) Suggested Donations for mixed breeds usually start at $150.00 (please ask us) Suggested donations may vary for special needs or older pets (please ask us) We do not accept personal checks or credit cards.
