How To Adopt
If you are interested in adopting one of our very special pets, we require all prospective families to complete the cat adoption form or the dog adoption form, as well as the adoption agreement form. If attending our monthly PetSmart adoption event, these forms are available and can be filled out in person. Forms may also be completed and submitted online. If necessary, forms may be printed, completed, and mailed to the address listed at the bottom of page. If you choose to mail them to our PO Box, please call our voice mail so an IMPACT volunteer will be watching for them.
After the completed forms are received, an IMPACT representative will contact you for an interview. You may be asked to participate in a home visit. Animals are not placed on a first come first serve basis. Instead, the IMPACT adoption committee tries to assess each individual animal's needs and carefully screen applicants. The goal of this process is to ensure that the animals are placed in compatible homes, resulting hopefully in a permanent and successful placement for both people and pets. We reserve the right to refuse any application.
Fees
Fees are payable at the time of adoption. Payments accepted include cash or check. Online payment may be made through PayPal after approved for adoption.
The adoption fee for purebred dogs begins at $200.00 and mixed breed dogs at $150.00. All dogs are current on shots including, rabies, DHLPP and bordetella. Each has been tested for heartworms and currently on heartworm preventative. Puppies receive DHLPP’s and wormings as appropriate for age. The adoption fee covers the cost of spaying or neutering as well as microchipping.
The adoption fee for cats is $100.00. If cats are purebred and / or declawed, the fee is $150.00. Cats have tested negative for FeLuk and FIV. Adult cats have rabies and FVCRP vaccinations, and have been spayed or neutered. Kittens receive FVCRP vaccinations and wormings as age appropriate. The adoption fee covers the cost of spaying or neutering.
Adoption fees may occasionally vary, based on the costs of incurred medical fees. Fees are used to defray the costs of spays, neuters, vaccinations, other vet services, food and foster supplies.
Additional kitten and puppy shots, including rabies, become the responsibility of the new owner upon adoption.
