Adoption Guidelines: - Before scheduling a meet-and-greet with one of our adoptable cats or dogs, you must complete an application and interview with an adoption team member. - You must be 21 years or older. - All animals in your home must be up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed / neutered. - If you rent, we will need a copy of your lease stating the landlord permits pets along with the landlord’s contact information. - We do not place animals as gifts for others. - Adopted animals must be kept as indoor companions. - We reserve the right to perform a home visit. We aim to provide high quality care for the well-being of rescued cats and dogs until they are placed in forever homes. All animals are regularly vet checked, fully vaccinated, spayed / neutered and microchipped. They are routinely treated for fleas and worms as well as any medical issues. Except for a limited number of cats fostered at our headquarters, our adoptable animals are cared for in loving volunteer foster homes. We get to know the pets’ personalities and needs very well, striving to make the best possible match for both animals and adopters.

Animal Advocates is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), all volunteer, animal welfare organization involved in the rescue, care and placement of companion animals. Serving the Pittsburgh area since 1984, Animal Advocates has adhered to a no-kill policy and engaged in community-based advocacy on behalf of animals since its inception. We believe the relationship between a human and companion animal is an important bond that improves the physical and social well-being of individuals and the community at large.
