Adoption Info

Interested in Adopting from PAKS; consider the following:

Will you and your family be going through any expected life changes such as getting married, moving or having a child? Will work require anyone to be home for days or weeks at a time? Do you have children in several sports activities where animals are not permitted to attend? Consider your home, is it “pet friendly”? Just like a child, your pet will find the smallest hole to escape through. Do you have anything that your pet could climb or jump on that will enable it to get over your fence? Check for hazards such as chemicals, electrical cords and gas lines for barbecue. Make sure that things are put-away and out of reach of your pet. Do you have proper shelter such as cool places for your pet in the summer and warm places in the winter?

Is the whole family committed to care for and to own the pet? Owning a pet is a lengthy committment and the decision to get one should be made by the whole family and not one person or another.

If you think your family is ready then please read on.

All potential adopers will be required to complete an application prior to meeting any adoptable pet. This is done to ensure that your home and lifestyle is the perfect match for the animal you are interested in adopting. If your lifestyle and the pets needs are not a match your request to adopt the animal will not be granted. This does not mean your application is rejected; instead one of PAKS memebers will help you find your perfect pet. PAKS is dedicated to helping all pets find their new perfect pack (their new home).

Inquiries can be made by emailing pa_k9@yahoo.ca or through our website.

PAKS is a volunteer based group, please keep in mind that our members are employed with regular full time jobs; please allow 24 hours for someone to reply to your inquiry. Thank you.

All adopted animals have been seen by a licensed veterinarian with in the past 6 months.
All animals over the age of 6 months have been spayed or neutered.
All animals under the age of 6 months will come with a spay or neuter certificate that must be produced at our participating veterinary clinic within one month of the animals 6 month birthday.
Please note: Spay and Neuter is mandatory, animals remain property of PAKS until it is altered.
All adopted dogs have had, at a minimum, their first set of vaccinations including:
- Distemper
- Hepatitis (CAV-2)Parainfluenza
- Parvovirus
- Coronavirus
Animals of proper age will be vaccinated against Rabies and Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
All adopted animals have received at least one dose of a vet recommended de-wormer.
All adopted animals have been microchipped and/or tattooed.

PAKS require adoption fees to be paid for each animal adopted to the public. The fees paid cover vaccinations, spay and neuters, food. micro chip and any other medical attention that an animal may need. In many instances adoption fees do not cover all expenses incurred while rehabilitating an animal.

Please note that due to increase in veterinary and other related expenses our adoption fees have increased.

As of July 20, 2009 our adoption fees are as follows:

PAKS adoption fee for all dogs: $300.00

PAKS adoption fee for all cats: $225.00
