No, we are not the shelter, and the animals are not ours. We can only provide you with information about what animals are at the shelter. It is up to you to adopt the animal.

YES! We would LOVE to know if you adopt an animal because of www.amrt.net . We work very hard at keeping our website informative and current, and hearing that an animal got saved because of our website really keeps us going!!! Send an email to HappyEndings@amrt.net maybe even tell us tell us which animal you adopted, and from which shelter. You will make our day! Thank you!

Payment (most shelters do NOT accept credit cards), and often a photo identification (driver's license, etc.). Also, make sure you bring something to keep the animal secure -- a collar and leash for a dog, or a carrier for a cat. And don't forget to get an identification tag with your phone numbers onto your new family member's collar right away!

Early on the animal's available date, GO TO THE SHELTER! At many shelters, animals are euthanized very quickly -- possibly after the close of business on the available date -- and you do not want your favorite animal euthanized before you arrive! Usually, www.amrt.net listings show the animal's available date If the available date is not shown, call the shelter and ask for the available date.

Sometimes. You can Email the www.amrt.net volunteer who visited with the animals. The volunteer might have more photos, and more information about the animal. Be sure to state the name of the shelter, the breed, and the impound number (if possible) in your Email, so the volunteer knows which animal you want to know about. But: do NOT rely on the volunteer, and do NOT waste time awaiting a reply.

It is California State law that all animals be spayed or neutered. (back to top)

Maybe, and maybe not. Once the animal's available date arrives, the animal may be adopted to the first person who arrives wanting the animal, or the animal may be euthanized. This is why it is so important to get to the shelter as soon as possible when the available date arrives.

We are not an animal shelter. Instead, we keep in touch with representatives at local animal shelters and rescue groups, and relay information about their adoptable animals to you. We are here to assist you with your search for your new pet, or help you with concerns or questions you may have about your current pet.

Owner release animals and animals that have cleared their 72 hour hold are tested for potential adoption. This includes temperament testing, and health observations.

If you are interested in adopting one of the animals we have available for adoption, the procedure is as follows: for the spay or neuter All dogs and cats adopted are given a distemper shot, wormed, bathed and treated for fleas when possible.

The Rangely Police department oversees the Animal Shelter located 407 Bronco Road. The animal shelter is maintained by a team of part-time employees.

Shelter info - also call shelter coordinator - 629-1314.

NO, a shelter will NOT "hold" an animal for you. If the animal's available date has arrived, the animal will be adopted out to the first person who arrives to adopt the animal. Also, if the animal's available date has arrived, and the animal is sick, is not getting along well with shelter workers or with other shelter animals, or if the shelter is crowded, the animal may be euthanized.

Unfortunately, the answer is usually NO. We would love to be able to do this, but, in general, we do not have enough volunteers to help in this way. We are all volunteers and spend our time photographing and listing the animals for www.amrt.net (and in our other rescue activities). Many of us do not even live near the shelters we cover, and only go once a week to compile lists and photos for www.amrt.net .

The City of Lewisville offers dogs and cats for adoption on a first come first served basis. However, if more than one person wants to adopt the same animal when the shelter initially opens, a drawing is held to determine who will adopt the animal. Animals adopted from the City animal shelter are required to be spayed or neutered. To adopt an animal from the City animal shelter: You must be at least 18 years of age.

Animals turned in by their owner for adoption and animals held past their stray period are available for adoption. Those animals still in their stray period have a waiting list that you can sign up for and come back to adopt when the stray period has ended. You must sign a contract to have the animal spayed or neutered, if not already done so prior to the adoption. This contract is a legal agreement and the failure to comply will result in court action.

Contact your local Animal Services Centre or call 416-338-PAWS (7297). You can also adopt animals through other organizations such as Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA), the Etobicoke Humane Society or the Toronto Humane Society.

Yes, a donation of $25 is requested to have an animal euthanized. You will be asked to fill out the necessary paperwork, and your pet will then be turned over to the SPCA of Central Florida.
