| Pet Placement |
There are many reasons people feel they need to place their pets in new homes. Some of the most
common are behavioral problems, moving, human health issues (such as allergies), and lifestyle
changes. Whatever the reason may be, there are solutions and alternatives out there that can help
make your pet a better member of the family and may allow you to keep him/her.
Please take your time and look for alternate solutions before you consider relinquishment as the
only answer. It could mean the difference of a long happy life and possible death for your pet if a
new home is not able to be found.
If you must find a new home for your pet:
1. The first thing to remember is to allow ample time to place him/her. We are very limited on the
number of animals we can take in since we rely on volunteer foster homes to care for our animals
until they are adopted; space is not always available. If a foster home is unavailable, you have the
option to foster your pet yourself until he/she is placed in a permanent home. However, we cannot
guarantee that your pet will be adopted immediately; the time it takes for an animal to be adopted
varies and can range from 2 weeks to 2 months, sometimes longer. If you choose to foster your
own pet, you must abide by all rules that are set for our volunteer foster homes.
2. All animals must pass an evaluation before being accepted into the program. Temperament and
health are evaluated to make sure the animal is adoptable. Evaluations are done by appointment
only. Sorry, but we are unable to take in fence-jumpers, escape artists, wild or aggressive animals
of any kind, or strays. We are not an animal control agency and do not have a shelter. If you have
found a stray you need to contact animal control for your area.
3. We charge a minimum intake fee of $25 for any individual animal. This intake fee helps us care
for your pet during its time with us (spay or neuter, shots, medical care if needed, food, etc.) We
have a litter fee for puppies and kittens. This litter fee is for litters of 3 or more. Puppies and
kittens must be at least 8 weeks old before we are able to take them into the program. Intake
fees are fully discussed when setting an evaluation appointment.
4. If we are unable to take your pet into our adoption program, we can post a private adoption ad
on Petfinder.com free of charge, but donations are always accepted. You may use the form below
to send information about your pet for a listing on Petfinder. Please give as much information as
possible, be honest about temperament, and we recommend you charge an adoption fee. This will
help your pet find the right home.
Pictures of your pet (up to 3) must be emailed separately to adopt@palhumanesociety.org. Please
be sure to put your name or your pet's name in the subject line when emailing pictures.
