My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Petey needs you! He is a very cute senior boy who is currently in foster care looking for a new and permanent home for the few years he may have left. We are not sure his age but he could easily be 12 years old. He was found as a stray boy and no one came for him in Benton City Washington. He is about 8 to 10 pounds and just loves to be on a lap. His foster says he is sweet but timid with new people (aren't they all)? He gets very attached to a person and does try to protect them, but does not bite. According to his foster, "He would be perfectly paired with a senior person who has a quiet home. and he loves to roll in the grass." This boy would do best without small children around as he is a bit fragile with spindly bow legged legs. He is neutered and fully vaccinated. He is house trained, but he does like to mark and his foster uses a belly band on him while indoors to keep him from doing that. This boy needs a great home and he is available for "donation of choice" to an approved applicant. If interested, please fill out an application from our website at pet-tracs.com and we will text you with next steps.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fees do vary depending on the animal and all pets go to new owners already spayed and neutered, vaccinated and wormed. All adopters are given a two week adoption trial with an exchange guarantee if the animal does not work out. We require a completed adoption application, which is on line on our website, and a signed care contract. All pets go out with a copy of their signed agreement and a copy of their medical record. Fees for adult cats are $60-75 and kittens are $75. Fees for dogs are $125 to $200 for adult mixed breed up to $300 for purebred, small dog puppies.

More about this rescue

TRACS has been in operation for 7 years and we have taken in and adopted out 3000 animals (as of 11/1/2013). We are mostly volunteers and pride ourselves on the fact that we have a new facility (small and humble but very comfortable) and have had for 2 years. We are a small budget organization and we receive no municipal or county support. We totally depend on donations to keep up our good work. We accept all donations of food, bedding, litter, or anything else that folks like to give us. Of course, monetary contributions are very much needed and are fully tax deductible.
