We are proud to say that every pet will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, licensed and chipped, as well as had a health check by a veterinarian. Most have been entered in the Canine Academy’s training program for basic manners.  Many of our pets have a known history of health and behavior. Some have been fostered long enough that we know their personalities and can help match the right pet to your needs.

WWA’s Adoption Policy

Prospective owners complete an adoption agreement and submit it along with an adoption fee. Prospective owners agree to a home visit to help make the right placement for a pet. Home visits may be waived depending on the circumstances.  WAA accepts a pet’s return with a refund within a month for any reason. After that a pet may be returned but the fee will not be refunded.

Pets are evaluated for proper behavior; however, there is no way to be absolutely sure that what it does for us will occur in your home. How a pet responds depends on the owner’s ability to manage and educate the pet as well as on its previous experiences.

Adopting a previously owned pet can entail some frustrations during the period of adjustment, but it is also a delightful opportunity of finding a best friend. We believe that pets and people can be wonderfully adaptable and adoptions are the beginning of a great relationship. Plus you have done your share of taking an unwanted soul into your loving home.

Adopted pets become eligible for reduced boarding rates at Best Friends Pet Resort.

To Place a Pet in the WAA Program

WAA accepts a limited number of pets from owners who are unable to keep them. Owners must bring proof that the pets have been neutered/spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped and licensed in Stanislaus County. We reserve the right to ask for health records from the veterinarian of record. Every effort will be made to find a great, permanent home for each pet accepted. Well behaved and socialized pets are more likely to find the next great home quickly.

Owners relinquishing their pets will sign a contract and pay a small release fee to contribute to the expenses of promoting a pet for adoption. The fee may be waived under extenuating circumstances.
