| MHS
does not have an animal shelter. Rather, all
of our pets are kept in private
homes until placed. Some of the pets are MHS fostered pets
and some are other pets needing homes.
Please
read the following guidelines carefully before applying to
adopt a pet.
- No pets are adopted
out-of-state.
- We try to match
people and pets so that everyone involved has an wonderful,
happy experience for the entire life of the pet. We do require
that pets be spayed or neutered at the appropriate age, 4-6
months.
- Potential adopters are screened and interviewed by trained
adoption counselors prior to any placement. Because
we work to achieve the perfect placement, we
reserve the right to refuse adoption. We do this to the benefit of both
people and pets.
CATEGORIES OF ADOPTABLE PETS
MHS
FOSTERED or SPONSORED PETS:
These
animals come to MHS through a number of different ways. All
have been rescued from an uncertain future. These pets have
been seen by a vet, tested and given shots. They are neutered
at the appropriate age. Because they have lived in our homes
we have a better understanding of what type of family would
be the best for them.
MHS foster pets are in foster homes being fostered by volunteers. MHS is responsible
for these pets.
MHS sponsored pets are those pets that a MHS member has rescued and has agreed
to be responsible for housing and placement of the pet with help from MHS.
The member is responsible for these pets.
COURTESY LISTED
PETS:
These are pets
we are courtesy listing for individuals, shelters, groups,
or other organizations by advertising the need for new homes.These
pets all need new homes and we work equally hard to make a
good placement. MHS cannot guarantee medical or behavioral
status and cannot be held liable for these placements. Enquiries
on these pets will be forwarded to the person responsible for
the pet. The person responsible for that pet will then contact
the owner.
