I am interested in adopting an animal I have seen on your website. I have some questions I would like answered. Also, can I arrange a time to meet the animal? Where is your facility located, and what are your hours of operation?
Some of the animals you see on the website are housed at the Campbell County Animal Control Facility. Although our organization does not operate this facility, this is where the majority of the animals we work with first arrive -- and we work closely with the county staff at the facility to coordinate adoptions. Many of the animals are in foster home (on in the case of cats, at our feline holding facility and/or the Lynchburg PetSmart store).
Although the Campbell County Animal Control Facility does have public hours, the dog or cat you are interested in visiting may not be at that facility. To meet with animals held in foster homes or our feline holding facility, you must schedule an appointment a head of time.
Your first step in determining if this is the right pet to add to your family would be to submit an on-line adoption application. We realize that this might seem a bit backwards, since you are not sure if you definitely want to adopt this pet. We don't ask this to be difficult, but since we are staffed by volunteers who are scheduled to the max, we have consolidated our process to be the least time-consuming as possible.
If you submit an on-line adoption application for the animal in which you are interested, our adoption counselors can begin the process of determining whether this pet is a good match for your family, answering your questions, checking your references, etc. (There is a place at the bottom of the adoption application where you can ask any questions you may have about this animal.) If you are approved for adoption, we would then arrange for you to meet the animal.
If you wish to submit an on-line adoption application, please click on ADOPT in the blue left navigation bar. Carefully read the Rules/Regulations as well as the Risks/Responsibilities in adopting an animal from us.
