Goliad Pet Adoption's adoption process

Additional adoption info

All of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered and up to date on their shots before adoption. Our adoption fee for dogs is $75, cats $60. The dogs are heartworm free; they are treated if they come to us heartworm positive. Cats are tested for FIV and feline leukemia.

We do have an adoption contract. In the case of Pit Bulls and Pit Bull mixes, we require vet and personal references as well as a home visit.

About Goliad Pet Adoption

We are a very small, but dedicated group of animal lovers who live in a small, predominantly ranching community in South Texas. The group was formed in October 2001 and has since incorporated and received 501(c)3 status from the IRS.

We initially worked with the city pound, housing up to 8 dogs and 6 cats at that facility after their waiting period was up. In June,2007, the pound shut down to make needed renovations. We have decided that we will break the tie with the City, no longer housing our animals at the pound. We will take animals from there.

We currently have 3 foster homes - all overflowing. We have been successful in saving many dogs - with the support of larger city no-kill shelters who take our smaller dogs. Since the opening of PetSmart 30 miles away, our cat adoption, the survival rate for cats has increased greatly.

We all love pets and although we often struggle, caring for the animals, trying to find good forever homes and making ends meet(we are supported by donations only), when we find that great home for one of our rescues, we remember why we struggle and it all seems worthwhile.

We believe that there is hope for no more homeless pets and that we must educate - especially the younger generations. We have dreams of having our own shelter - a no-kill facility We hope that some day we all have to find another volunteer cause - beause there will be no more homeless pets to rescue.

We are always in need of volunteers! We are looking for charitable grant writers, web masters, fund-raisers and more. We don't require that all volunteers scoop poop. And we greatly appreciate all help.

Goliad Pet Adoption's adopted pets

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

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.
