Adoption Application

The following information is requested so that your Adoption Counselor can assist you in the selection of a new pet. Our goal is to place animals in loving homes with compassionate people who will make lifelong commitments to them by accepting them as a member of their family. The consultation process is designed to help determine the best compatibility "match" between the pet and adopter(s) lifestyle. This also enables us to determine if the adoption is in the animal's best interest. The Administrative fee to adopt a dog is $125.00 and the fee to adopt a cat is $100.00.

Each animal taken into PIGS, A Sanctuary is given their initial vaccinations, spayed/neutered, de-wormed and given dentals when needed. In addition, all dogs have been tested for Lyme and Heartworm disease (and if found positive, are treated) and all cats have been tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV. The average cost to PIGS is $400 per animal in the first month of care. We also treat many injured animals who arrive at PIGS and perform the necessary surgeries and treatments to bring them to their optimal health.

All donations received in additon to the administrative fees are greatly appreciated and help to offset our costs to provide the best medical care we can to these wonderful and deserving animals.
