Adopt-a-thon Scheduled
June 25th & June 26th
10am - 8pm
Pet Emergency Warehouse
(South of Joplin Humane Society)
Our adopt-a-thon will be held June 25th & 26th, 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. and is being sponsored by ASPCA and PetSmart Charities.
This will be a “fee-waived” event and you do not need to be a resident of Missouri to adopt. All animals will be spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, collared and ID tagged, current on all age appropriate vaccines, cats tested for FeLeuk & FIV, dogs for heartworm. Dogs will also be “SAFER” tested for aggression. There will be a “goodie-bag for all animals and a carrier for cats.
All adoptions will be on a first come basis at the adopt-a-thon on June 25th and 26th.
WE WILL BE UNABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON SPECIFIC ANIMALS PRIOR TO THE ADOPT-A-THON.
ALL potential adopters will be screened with our usual process and we will follow up on all adoptions by phone to make sure the adoptions are working out. We will also answer any questions that may have arisen subsequent to the adoption during this call.
We will not make this adoption contingent on the fact that the original owners may come back to reclaim the animals. If an adopter wants to volunteer to do this, they may.
We will have adoption counselors situated throughout the whole compound to ensure good matches with pets and potential families.
SPECIAL NEEDS PETS: We are putting together a photo album with descriptions of our special needs pets. These will be posted on our Facebook page and our website. All special needs pets will be applied for and approved IN ADVANCE.
The special needs pets will run the gamut from temporary medical care such as a broken leg to senior animals, FeLeuk or FIV positive cats or heartworm positive dogs.
We will post the information about our special needs pets on this page and our Facebook page by Monday, June 20th.
Please follow the following links to print and complete our adoption application and bring with you the day of the adopt-a-thon.
You will need to complete both a dog and cat adoption application if you are interested in both.
