Our fantastic pet adoption volunteers and staff continuously strive to make Animal Care & Control the first place people come to in their search to add a new pet to their family. Their training, professionalism, and commitment cannot be beat. With such determination it's no wonder that so many people choose Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control for all their pet adoptions!
In total, 2,850 happy animals found loving, generous families to join in 2013. Animals were adopted from our shelter of from the partner organization they were transfered to. Many of these animals overcame hardships or experiences best described as remarkable. We witnessed those that came to us malnourished, and we gave them our best as they struggled to gain weight and thrive. We gave comfort to those with injuries and marveled at their ability to work through their pain and trust again. We found volunteers to foster those animals that needed a little extra help. Others were here because their families fell on hard times and chose to do what they felt best for the pet's future.
Like any shelter, we receive puppies and kittens from unplanned litters and adult animals whose owners lack commitment. Whatever their story, we see the potential of these animals to be someone's next best friend. Thanks to all who choose pet adoption, and who make a difference for deserving shelter animals.
