Hampshire County Pet Adoption Program WHAT IS A FOSTER ORGANIZATION? A foster organization is quite different from a shelter. WHY ARE WE A FOSTER ORGANIZATION AND NOT A SHELTER?

The animals do not all stay in one place/facility, but rather are scattered among the homes of our volunteers. HCPAP has created a small network of foster homes that allows the pets to be able to live in a comfortable environment until they get adopted. So, HCPAP dogs and cats get to enjoy the life of beds, couches and backyards while they are waiting for their forever family. Fostering gives us t

he unique ability to match each animal with an appropriate owner. We are able to discover the personality of each individual animal and the type of environment they will flourish in. It allows us to determine how the animals will behave around dogs, cats, children, etc. It also allows us to discover any not so great behaviors. When animals are fostered they are socialized and learn the "DOs and DON'Ts" of living in a home. Overall, pets that are fostered are better prepared for adoption. WHERE DO OUR ANIMALS COME FROM? The animals in our rescue come from various places. Many are released to us by their owners. We also like to help out other rescues and shelters when possible. DO WE EUTHANIZE PETS IF THEY DON'T GET ADOPTED? The only times that we will consider euthanasia is in situations of severe health condition or severe aggression. We keep the pets in our rescue until they find their forever home. Many of the pets in our rescue will be with us for several months or even years before they get adopted. WHAT VETERINARY CARE DO HCPAP PETS RECEIVE? The pets that come into our rescue will receive all needed veterinary care. Visit our website for details. WHERE TO FIND US:

Because we are not a shelter there is no facility for you to come to. You can see our adoptable pets every other Saturday at PetSmart on Legge Blvd in Winchester, Virginia between the hours of 12:00 p.m. & 4:00 p.m. Keep an eye on our page for possible cancellations. THE PEOPLE BEHIND HCPAP

All HCPAP's volunteers have full time jobs and/or are full time students. Animal rescue by itself is like a full time job. We all have devoted the little spare time we have to finding homes for so many great animals. DO WE ONLY ADOPT OUT TO CERTAIN AREAS/STATES? No, we do not limit adoptions to certain areas or the surrounding states. If you live far away and are willing to drive the distance to adopt one of our dogs or cats, we will happily adopt out to you (assuming everything else, like your application, checks out).
