WHAT IS ADOPT-A-PET?

Adopt-A-Pet is a non-profit, non-governmental, privately supported humane organization dedicated to the rescue, care and adoption of homeless pets.

The cornerstone of our organization is our philosophy of never euthanizing any animal unless incurably ill. WE MAKE NO EXCEPTIONS!

Adopt a Pet hours are 10-4 every day. Please come visit. Call us at (305) 257-2275. We welcome your membership and volunteer hours. Write us!
 

OUR HISTORY

Adopt-A-Pet was chartered in 1978 when a small group of dedicated and concerned citizens joined to address the problem of homeless and unwanted pets in our community - to find, treat, rehabilitate, provide a loving temporary home and then, at last, place them in new permanent homes.

The founders lacked a central facility but struggled on by taking the orphaned pets into their own residences and with their own resources cared for the animals until they could be placed in carefully screened, loving homes.

In 1982 a newly expanded Board of Directors began intensive fundraising and organizational development efforts.

Our membership has grown to more than 1600 concerned members and volunteers who now support the humane work being realized.

In 1985, special funds were made available to purchase an existing zoned kennel facility on 2.6 acres. Finally, we had a permanent and centralized home for our animals; the Roye Levin Adopt-A-Pet Centre was born.

In 1991, an adjacent 2.5 acres were purchased for future expansion where we shall construct a modern, "state of the art" pet residence and adoption centre.

We now face the challenge of raising funds for our new project - a goal we hope to achieve with the help of our members and of our community. We will eventually be able to save hundreds more lives annually and provide a multitude of additional services to pets and pet owners. Write us!

Recommended Books


Random Acts of Kindness by Animals
by Stephanie Laland with a forward by Doris Day
published by MJF Books
ISBN 1-56731-270-5


This wonderful little book has many personal anecdotes and published news stories about acts of kindness by animals and one chapter about people who helped animals.
It includes the documented stories about the two gorillas who gently saved two children who fell into gorilla exhibits on separate occasions, and Scarlett the cat who repeatedly ran into the burning house to save her kittens.
There are many more stories in this fine book. This is an inspiring little book that deserves to be read by as many people as possible.
