A Non-Profit Organization with Dedicated and Caring Staff
PAL is run by a small and dedicated staff whose primary responsibilities include animal care, and adoptions.
A Long Tradition of Helping Homeless Animals
The Pet Assistance League (PAL) is a non-profit organization that helps find homes for displaced and abandoned animals, primarily cats and dogs. Founded in 1986, the league has helped thousands of animals find permanent homes with caring families.
Pet Adoptions -- Adopt a Pet
The Pet Assistance League always has numerous dogs and cats available for adoption. Most of them are pictured in our gallery of dogs and
gallery of cats.
Anyone interested in adopting a pet from the Pet Assistance League should complete an adoption application form before coming
in to see the currently available pets. This will make the process go a bit smoother as it reduces the amount of your time
required in filling paperwork out at the store, and helps us get a better idea of what your needs are in advance. This way
we can help try to determine what pets might be a good match for your situation. Not all pets are suited for all homes &
vice-versa.
When coming to see a pet you are interested in adopting, please expect to spend at least one hour with the pet during the
adoption process. It is important that you spend time with the pets in order to select a pet that is a good match for your
family.
Adoption fees are charged for each pet adoption. The adoption fee helps us defray the cost of the animal's boarding and
medical care. The adoption fee ranges from $125 to $250 per animal and takes into account whether spaying or neutering
has already occurred. Animals made available for adoption may have recently had their health verified by one of the
veterinarians who provide services to PAL, or a vet checkup may be recommended as something for you to have done after adoption. Health and shot records are provided when available. Where possible, we also test kittens over 8 weeks of
age for Feline Aids and Feline Leukemia. Please Note: No test is 100% accurate for these viruses. For dogs, distemper &
rabies vaccines and a heart worm test are administered if they are old enough for testing.
