My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Barbara was originally adopted out to someone from the ARL in Des Moines, but for some unknown reason, was found wondering loose around Spring Lake Park and then ended up at the shelter in Jefferson. Barbara is microchipped, but we have had no success in contacting her previous owner, so she is up for adoption again. Barbara believes she is the Queen of Everything, so needs to be in a home where everyone else is in agreement with that! She will do best in a home with no other animals and no small children. Barbara is both silly and sassy. She likes to play and be petted, but only on her terms, and when she no longer wants to be petted, her people need to respect that, which is why we are suggesting no small children with her. In the right home she will be a wonderful, calm companion. All PAWS cats must keep their claws, no declawing please:)

Their adoption process

1.

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

Find pets online or in person. We do encourage meet and greets with our pets to see how they fit into your lifestyle.

2.

Submit Application

We also require a vet reference if you have a current one, and 2 personal references, with names and phone numbers to call.

3.

Approve Application

If references check out, you will be approved for adoption.

4.

Take the Pet Home

We have a 2-week trial visit for dogs. We hold your paperwork/adoption fee and you take the dog up to 2 weeks to get to know each other.

5.

Sign Adoption Contract

At any point during the trial visit time, we will final the adoption only after you let us know that "he or she is ours"!

Additional adoption info

This fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and distemper shots, worming, flea preventative, heartworm testing for dogs and Feline Leukemia/FIV testing for cats.
