Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
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!

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
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.

I would love an opportunity to see what in the world the director of this shelter is fostering through their statements to prospective adopters! As someone with a great deal of rescue experience, I was shocked in speaking with them. I plan on reporting them to every online group I can and getting the word out....they should use a questionnaire and try some tact when speaking with the public. A little tact and not hanging up on someone would go a long way!

This group needs some education about dogs and their care and how to interact with compassionate people who are willing to apply for adoption of an animal. They are taking a great deal of personal information from us. They need to practice respect.

According to the representative, the only way to stop animals from being surrendered is to place them in a home and have a backup person who will take the animal. Your statement above contradicts this. Who would ever turn to these people for advice or compassion? Evergreen hopefully has other shelters that celebrate the companionship of a dog and its human!

The person who reviewed my application was only interested in getting information from me about a backup plan if something were to happen to me! Something can happen to a 21 year old! This is age discrimination of the worst sort. I can't believe a 501C can do this.

I applied to adopt a dog and I have wonderful credentials. All my dogs have had the best of care,training and a loving home. I had a deaf pitbull that I had trained and together we ensure she grew up happy and confident. Dogs that required specialists for neurology, cardiology, oncology got it. My dogs have lived 13-17 years. I was declined a chance to meet a dog because I didn't already have a dog. I had recently put a 17 year old dog to sleep and I wanted to start with one dog. Circle2 and the foster indicated I could not adopt and offered to allow me to adopt if they let me home two dogs. This shows very poor judgement, bringing two new dogs into a new environment. Lynn the foster seemed to have the all the say and call the shots. He would not respond to the agencies requests to contact me or set up an interview. I have always had dogs. The dog would have access to day care at mom's house, run off a fenced yard and access to the best veterinary care. The dog is a pitbull. I have experience with pit bulls. It was ridiculous how our interaction was handled. When I questioned their logic, they became very defensive. Steer clear. They think they have the dog's best interests in mind, but they do not. BTW, the admin indicated at one point in our conversations they had issues with this foster parent.
