Adopt A Pet!

We have several places where you can look for the best pet for your family. All the pets shown here were in the Haywood County Animal Control facility. Some are still there, others are now in Sarge Foster Homes. Please read about each of these groups of pets because they are in different places and have different contact information!!!

Sarge Fosters

Sarge's foster animals are taken directly from the Haywood County Animal Control facility. They are all tested for heartworm or Feline Leukemia/HIV, given appropriate vaccinations and preventatives for heartworms/fleas/ticks, and if they are old enoughm they have been spayed or neutered. They are socialized as time permits and given basic training so when they go to an adoptive home they are mannerly and healthy.

The basic adoption fee is $50 for cats and $100 for dogs. These fees apply to pets that have already been spayed or neutered, or those that we take to Humane Alliance for spay/neuter. If your pet has not yet been spayed or neutered at the time of adoption because it is too young, another option is to take them to one of our preferred local vets for an additional $30. Please check with us for the list of preferred vets. You may also take them to any other vet of your choice -- if you do that, then you are responsible for paying the cost of the operation and when you supply proof of spay/neuter you will receive a rebate of $50 from us for dogs only.

However, if you are over 60 years of age and would like to adopt a senior cat (over 5 years of age), you can do that with no adoption fee! Read more about it here or contact Nancy Rhoades for more information at 828-926-9579.

Pets at the Haywood County Animal Control Facility

These are the pets that are currently at the Animal Shelter. You can visit them there and adopt them directly from the Shelter. These are not Sarge pets, but adopting from the Shelter is still a wonderful way to find a pet and we encourage you to go to the Shelter if you see a dog or cat that strikes your fancy!
