Paw Placement conducts adoptions through one PETsMART adoption center. Over the past ten years of operation, we have adopted over 8,000 homeless cats and dogs into loving homes. All animals adopted through Paw Placement are spayed/neutered. Standard care provided for felines includes FeLV/FIV testing, annual vaccinations (boosters for kittens), rabies inoculations and microchip. Standard care pro
vided for canines includes annual vaccinations (boosters for puppies), rabies inoculations and microchip. Paw Placement defines itself as “no-kill,” and provides any necessary veterinary care, over and above the standard care, when it is needed and where quality of life is not an issue. We have approximately 190 active volunteers. The organization houses its cats in a PETsMART 7 day adoption center and in a network of foster homes. Paw Placement houses its dogs in a network of foster homes, as well, where volunteers offer loving structure and training to increase adoptability. We screen all potential adopters through an adoption questionnaire and conduct home visits to insure that animals are going into a nurturing environment.
