Ready to adopt?

Please read the following information.

All incoming foster animals receive complete veterinary care and are adopted only after they are determined to be healthy. Medical and known behavioral histories of each foster pet are discussed in detail with prospective new owners. LIFE Animal Haven volunteers provide advice and consultation to ensure the adjustment of the pet to the new home. When circumstances make it impossible for a pet to remain with the adopting family, it is required that the LAH be notified and allowed to reclaim the pet. Adoption fees are charged not to cover each pet's expenses, but to help offset them.

Adopting an animal is a big decision!

When making the decision to adopt a pet, keep in mind the life-long responsibilities and financial aspects:

Routine veterinary care and occasional emergencies
High quality pet food to maintain your pets health
Routine Grooming
Boarding or in-home care when you are not home
Fencing, dog houses, litter boxes, toys, treats, etc.

There is a desperate need to eliminate the "disposable pet mentality" from our society. We need to teach our children, by our example, to to care for and love their furry family members. LIFE Animal Haven believes that many of the problems involving stray animals can be eliminated if responsible pet owners will spay/neuter their pets. All pets adopted from LIFE Animal Haven will be neutered at the time of adoption, or must be neutered by their adoptive owners. We are advocates of early spay/neuter. Call anytime for low cost spay/neuter information.

The adoption fee for cats helps to cover the cost of the following:

Feline Leukemia and FIV testing (all cats adopted out have tested negative for both of these diseases)
Vaccination against Feline Panleukopenia (distemper), Rhinotracheitis, Chlamydia, Calici virus and Rabies
Fecal exam and/or deworming
Spay or castration

The adoption fee for dogs helps to cover the cost of the following:

Heartworm test
Heartworm prevention or treatment (all dogs are heartworm free at time of adoption)
Vaccination against Canine Distemper, Adenovirus 2, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, Coronavirus, and Rabies
Fecal exam and/or deworming
Spay or castration

PLEASE NOTE:

All foster animals come to us from undesirable situations. Many were strays or rescues from animal shelters that must euthanize animals. If attempting to place a personal pet, we will be glad to offer advice and refer prospective owners to you, but our foster space is limited and needs to be used for those animals most in need.
We do not buy and sell pets.
The adoption donations that we receive in no way cover our expenses. The cost of housing, food and veterinary care are offset by the generous contributions of concerned animal lovers.
We are an all-volunteer organization. There are no set hours for us to be available to the public. We fit this in with our jobs and families. Please be patient if you call.
