The Animal Lovers Assistance League has just implemented two new policies at the
Currituck Animal Shelter which will help make adopting a new pet even easier. The
new "Sponsor a Pet Adoption" policy allows for a person who would like to help a
special animal get adopted but he has no space, or the person has other limitations
that prevent him from being able to adopt the animal himself, but he wants to help
someone else adopt that animal.
The sponsor donates the cost of the adoption fee,
which is $45.00 for a kitten; $85. for a cat; $75.00 for a puppy who is too young to
yet receive his rabies vaccination; and $87.00 for a dog, which includes his rabies
vaccination and other vaccinations.
Our first recipient of such a sponsorship is
our beautiful snow white cat Casper. Through our "Pets for Seniors" Senior citizens
are also eligible to receive a Senior Discount of $25.00 off of the adoption of any
shelter animal.
Another new policy, "Free at Six " waives the adoption fee completely for an animal
who has been at the shelter for at least six months, provided that the perspective
owner meets the criteria set forth in the Adoption Contract. The adoption of some
breeds requires a satisfactory home visit and an owner background check before they
can be adopted.
Please contact the Currituck Animal Shelter to find out about how
you may go about participating in these new ways of helping animals find a new
loving home.
