| Our Adoption Process... |
| Adoption prices are $85.00 which includes a vet check (all other services, shots, tests are not included and will not be covered under the adoption contract) a rabies voucher and low cost spay/neuter. All altered animals are $40.00 which includes the vet check and rabies voucher. After your adoption we will make your new pets appointment with the vet of your choice, also you won't have to spend all that time filling out the vets new client paperwork the day of your appointment because we have all that paperwork at the shelter. |

Our goal is to keep our shelters euthanasia rate extremely low, we have been able to accomplish this so far. In 2007 "NO" adoptable animals have been euthanized for space! And our year to date percentage for adoptable animals is 0%. This is because of our high adoption rate and owner reclaimed aninals. We have an extensive rescue network that has helped in saving several animals lives. We are having a high rate of owner surrenders at the shelter; many are from the City limits of Chattanooga and from Hamilton County and Georgia. The owners don't want to surrender their animals to a high kill shelter and think we can take their animals; we are a very small shelter with limited space. We are unable to accept animals from other areas; proof of residence will have to be given when surrendering any animal. We are getting a good reputation about finding our animals homes or getting them into rescue, but it's not our responsibilty to find "YOUR" animal a new home, we are the last RESORT. If you live outside of East Ridge and need to surrender an animal we can provide rescue contacts but we can not take your animal. |
