Save-A-Pet’s Adoption Process

Save-A-Pet’s dogs and cats are fostered with loving care in our volunteers’ homes prior to adoption by the perfect new owners. You can meet pets waiting to be adopted at our monthly Pick A Pet shows or by arranging a private visit between shows. Call our information number, (716) 559-3020, for more information. Save A Pet’s work is concentrated in eastern Niagara County, NY and in some neighboring communities.

All Save-A-Pet animals are up-to date on vaccinations and are spayed or neutered. Those requiring additional veterinary care prior to adoption have received the best possible professional treatment. Adopters will be informed of any known health issues an animal may have.

If you’d like to adopt a dog or cat from Save-A-Pet, you will be interviewed so that we can be sure that the pet will be going to a great home.

We ask all potential adopters several questions including:
1. Are there other pets at home?
2. Children at home –what ages?
3. Who is veterinarian?
4. Do you own or rent? If renting, will landlord allow pets? If dogs are allowed in a rental property, is there any size limit on the dog?
5. Is anyone in the household allergic to animals?
6. May we visit your home to see how & where the animal would be living?

The cat adoption fee is $75 for cats and kittens 7 months to 4 years . If two cats in this age group are adopted at the same time, the fee for two is $125.

The adoption fee for kittens up to 7 months is $95.00 for one or $145.00 for two kittens in this age group.

The adoption fee for cats age 4 years and over is $40.00.

The dog adoption fee is $150.

This fee includes all their shots, the spay/neutering, and whatever other vet work they may need to get them ready for adoption.

Potential adopters fill out an adoption application prior to the adoption. Before the adoption is finalized, a home visit is required. An adoption form, completed when the adoption takes place, gives us a permanent record of the animal’s new ownership.
