FOSTER & ADOPTION PROGRAM. A NEW LEASH ON LIFE HAS A UNIQUE FOSTER AND ADOPTION PROGRAM FOR HOMELESS PETS. THESE DOGS AND CATS COME FROM MANY PLACES... THE CITY KILL SHELTER, ABANDONED IN BACK YARDS AND VET OFFICES, ON THE STREETS...EVERYWHERE. THEY ARE OFTEN HURT OR SICK, AND THEY REALLY NEED A NEW LEASH ON LIFE! EACH DOG AND CAT IS PROVIDED WITH A LOVING FOSTER HOME, REGULAR VETERINARY CARE (SPAY/NEUTER, MICROCHIP, TESTING, VACCINATIONS, DEWORMING, ETC.), OTHER MEDICAL TREATMENTS, SURGERIES, OR DRUGS THEY NEED FOR THEIR PARTICULAR INJURIES OR AILMENTS, AND AS MUCH TIME AS THEY NEED TO RECUPERATE AND FIND A FOREVER HOME.A NEW LEASH LODGE PROVIDES A SAFE PLACE FOR THOSE PETS WE TAKE IN, WHO DON'T HAVE A FOSTER HOME YET. THE PETS LIVE HERE UNTIL A FOSTER HOME CAN BE FOUND OR THEY ARE ADOPTED. IT HAS BEEN A PLACE OF COMFORT AND LOVE FOR HUNDREDS OF DOGS AND CATS IN A COMFY, HOME SETTING. DOGS LIVE IN COMMUNITY ROOMS WITH SOFT BEDS AND DOGGY DOORS OUT TO LARGE FENCED YARDS. CATS LIVE IN COMMUNITY ROOMS WITH TOYS, CAT TREES, BEDS, AND LOTS OF HIDEOUTS. THE LODGE PETS ARE CARED FOR BY VOLUNTEERS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY WHEN THEY ARE WALKED (DOGS), BRUSHED, PLAYED WITH, AND SERVED HEALTHY MEALS.APPLICATIONS ARE ACCEPTED ONLINE, THROUGH THE WEBSITE, AND IN PERSON AT OUR ADOPTION DAYS OR AT OUR HUNTSVILLE, BROWNSBORO, AND MADISON LOCATIONS. AN ADOPTION COUNSELOR REVIEWS EACH APPLICATION AND DISCUSSES THE GOOD AND BAD TRAITS OF THE PET THEY ARE APPLYING FOR. ULTIMATELY, THE GOAL IS FOR THEIR NEXT HOME TO BE THEIR FOREVER HOME, SO WE DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE IT WILL BE A GOOD MATCH. THE PETS ARE TAKEN TO THEIR NEW HOMES BY VOLUNTEERS, WHO HELP INTRODUCE THE FAMILY (HUMANS AND ANIMALS) TO THE NEW PET, AND HOPEFULLY REDUCE PROBLEMS DURING THE INITIAL GREETINGS. OF COURSE, WE TAKE THEM BACK INTO OUR PROGRAM IF THEY DO NOT WORK OUT IN THE HOME.
