Pet Assistance League of Northern California

Adoption Policy

-Adopters must be at least 18 years-old and be prepared to provide identification.

-If you adopt a dog or cat, you must agree to have your pet spayed or neutered if it is not already altered. Your adoption counselor will make arrangements for spay or neuter surgery as part of the adoption process.

-You must agree to provide adequate exercise, food, water, shelter, vaccinations, medical care, grooming, identification, lifelong care and love for your new pet.

-You must adhere to state and local ordinances pertaining to animal care and control.

-Animals will not be adopted to research institutions, to anyone who sells animals to research institutions, or to persons with a history of animal abuse or neglect.

-Pet Assistance League of Northern California reserves the right to deny the adoption of any animal.

-All cats/kittens are required to go home in a carrier.

NOTE: There is a two-week “trial period” after an animal is adopted. If, for any reason, an animal must be returned to us during the first two weeks after the adoption, we will either fully refund the adoption fee, or help to find an animal that would be a better match for your family.
