Animal Rescue Center of Bay County, Inc. is a nonprofit, all volunteer, foster based organization dedicated to helping our local animals that have been abandoned in the Panama City, Florida area. Many of these animals are abandoned due to no fault of their own, and deserve a second chance at life. That is what ARC is trying to give them.

Bay County, Florida - however we will do out of area adoptions so long as we can find a rescue to do the home visit and you are willing to come here to pick up the animal.
Additional adoption info
You must fill out an adoption application, which you can download at http://arcofbaycounty.org/adoption.aspx. Once we receive your application, we'll do reference checks, a vet check and a home visit. Our organization is all volunteer, so sometimes this process can take up to a week (longer for out of town adoptions). We realize that this may seem invasive, but most of are animals were pulled from death row. We want to make sure that they don't end up back there.
Our adoption fee for dogs is $150. Please note that many of our dogs have sponsors and will have a lower adoption fee. This fee includes the spay or neuter, a general 4-in-1 vaccination, rabies vaccination, worming and the heartworm check. All dogs are kept current on heartworm and flea preventative while they are in our care. We use Interceptor and Comfortis on our dogs. Each dog comes with an awesome adoption kit, including a collar and leash, toys, treats, food samples, coupons, a free first groom from Barks & Bubbles, a free day of doggy daycare from Dagny & Dexter's Doggy Daycare, a free order of dog cookies from B's Barkery, 20% off of your new dog's supplies at Suncoast Aquariums & Pet Supplies, one free pet sitting visit from Lucky Paws Pet Sitting, LLC and one free day of pet sitting from Time on Your Side Pet Sitting!
