Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

Hi there! Our family was interested in Martina, the Border Collie Black Lab but we haven't heard anything back. Is there anyone monitoring the email inbox? Please advise?

Please note that this organization has been adopting out dogs at Petco Happy Valley for the past two months who are not spayed or neutered. This is the total opposite of what the organization preaches all over their Facebook, Petfinder, Adopt a Pet and www.cnps.petfinder.org site.
In addition they are bringing dogs to the adoption events who have just been fixed 1-2 days prior, and who are clearly not ready to be there. These poor animals are still swollen, the incision site sore, popping stitches and clearly feel under the weather and for that matter should not be handled by potential adopters or subjected to this chaotic environment.
CNPS is also administering vaccines without a medical license in the dirty Petco bathrooms, microchipping the animals in the same manner and handing out prescription medication to their fosters and adopters.
This organization needs to be reported so they can change the way they are doing business.
