Shelter Buddies

Shelter Buddies is an all-volunteer charitable organization dedicated to improving the health, welfare, and adoptability of shelter animals. We assist at local shelters by bathing and grooming animals, walking dogs, cuddling cats, providing emergency veterinary care to sick or injured shelter animals, facilitating adoptions, supplying vaccines, and fostering shelter animals in our homes. In other words, we try to provide shelter animals with the care that shelters, with their limited staffs and budgets, cannot provide.

Additional adoption info

Our minimum adoption donation is $125, which nearly--but not quite--covers the cost of a complete health check, spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchip. The minimum adoption donation for a particular pet may be higher, depending on the pet and/or the amount of veterinary care it required

Our adoption process begins with your completing our application and returning it to us. Upon receipt of your completed application, we will check your references, particularly vet references, and schedule a meeting between you and the pet. If all goes well, we'll then schedule a home visit.

It all begins with the application, so please check out our adoptable pets on this website. When an animal grabs your heart, contact its foster mom or dad for an application.
