Adopting a friend:
Pets adopted from the Animal Welfare Foster Program are current on all of their preventative healthcare. They have been vaccinated, spayed or neutered, tested for heartworms and placed on heartworm preventative, treated for fleas, and wormed. Cats have tested negative for FIV and FeLV. All come with a free month of ShelterCare pet insurance.

A donation to cover the cost of spay or neuter and vaccinations is requested for each adoption. For dogs this is $125 and for cats, $65. An adoption application and home visit are required.

Adopting an animal: Since we don't have a shelter, we ask that if you are interested in adopting one of our animals, you first fill out an adoption application and email it to Krista bishopk@vt.edu. Because our animals are in foster homes, we regret that we cannot allow interested parties to visit with them before putting in an application. However, we are happy to answer your questions about the animal's personality prior to having you complete the application. Within a few days of receiving your application, a member of our adoption team will contact you and schedule a meeting with the animal if you are approved. We have a one week trial period for our adoptions,during which we will hold your adoption fee while you determine if the animal will fit in well with your family. Your adoption coordinator will review your pet's healthcare and behavior information at the adoption meeting, and will provide you with the medical paperwork.

Please direct any questions you have on adopting a pet to Krista bishopk@vt.edu.
