One Dog at a Time has built a team of concerned and caring animal lovers, not vigilantes. Our mission is to conduct animal welfare checks, investigate suspected abuse and neglect, assess situations and formulate plans of action based on individual circumstances. ALL ODAAT team members will operate within the legal guidelines of Pennsylvania Law and in conjunction with all law enforcement and humane enforcement personnel. Our goal is to save animals that would go unnoticed without us.
All reports are kept confidential unless stated otherwise.
Our members are very important to us. ODAAT has, in a very short time, built relationships with an absolutely amazing group of intelligent professionals wanting to assist animals in need. We have Humane Officers (and those aspiring to be), Dog Wardens, Police, both active and retired, a multitude of other rescues in and out of the State of Pennsylvania. One Dog at a Time depends on educated, outgoing, active volunteers who will adhere to the rules and ideals of the group.

Additional adoption info
The goal of ODAAT is to place our companion animals in lifetime, loving homes. Every home and every companion animal has it 's own unique personality and requirements. We place our animals in the supportive and loving environment of home foster care. While there, we gain knowledge about their personality, training skills, likes and dislikes.
To assist us with matching the correct companion animal with the most appropriate and compatible home,please fill out our adoption application questions as completely and correctly as possible and any other information you think would be helpful. The application will be followed-up by an ODAAT Adoption Coordinator, with a phone interview and then a home check.
Adoption contract and post-adoption follow-up checks are required as a condition of adoption. Some companion animals get multiple applicants or are not appropriate matches, so not all adoptions will be approved. Not all applicants will receive a yes or no response due to limited staff. We reserve the right to refuse any adoption without justification.
Our Adoption Costs vary but below is a guideline:
Dogs: $400-$300
Puppies:$450
Cats: $75
Kittens: $100
Why the high cost? Can't I adopt an animal for less? No.. and here's why: Our animals come to you fully vetted. It costs us less for medical care than you do to non-profit discount. So if you adopt an animal for less it will cost you more later. Spay & Neutering your animals, along with keeping up on shots prevents disease & illnesses.

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.
