Additional adoption info

We have an Open Adoption Policy.

So, what is an open adoption policy …..
Here at Jefferson City Animal Shelter we take an Adopters Welcome approach to pet adoption. That means...no long application process, no judgement and in many cases you can take the pet home the same day!

Did you know that the Humane Society of the United States, The Shelter Project, Maddie’s Fund and ASPCA are just a few of animal advocate groups currently supporting the “open adoption” process.

So, what does an open adoption policy mean for the animals…..
It means: Reducing the length of stay for the pet, in a stressful environment. Which in turn, opens up much needed space for more unwanted pets to be helped.

Did you know that Open Adoption policies are premised on data and studies that prove that returns do not increase when adoption restrictions are lifted.1

According to The Humane Society of the United States research shows that marketing techniques like same day adoptions, pets as gifts, reduced adoption fees and other adoption gimmicks have NO NEGATIVE effect on the care and love animals receive once they’re in their new home. And getting pets home as soon as possible actually protects them from stress and illness, even euthanasia.1

So if you are considering a new pet ...stop by the Jefferson City Animal Shelter we have awesome companion animals just waiting for a Happy Beginning.
