Loved for Life offers the ... - Animal Humane Society

Loved for Life offers the following benefits:

? Legacy Circle members have the opportunity to fill out a Pet Profile, including a written letter to the new caregiver, to guide AHS staff in finding an ideal placement.

? AHS staff will be available to pick up the pet within the Twin Cities if the owner is unable to make arrangements.

? Upon arrival, the pet will be examined by AHS veterinarians and behavior experts to receive medical care, vaccinations, and behavior training as needed.

? Ideally within 24 hours, the pet will be placed in our foster care program and be cared for in a volunteer's home until a permanent home can be found.

? AHS will attempt to place pairs of pets together, but cannot guarantee it will always be possible. The program is limited to four pets.

? AHS staff will screen potential adopters using information from the Pet Profile and will follow-up post adoption to verify the placement is working well. Personalized selection of a new home is designed to give the Legacy Circle member peace of mind.

Animal Humane Society will care for each pet in accordance with responsible and compassionate ownership practices. That means that AHS might have to make the difficult recommendation to euthanize a pet if its quality of life becomes severely diminished or if our behavior experts determine the pet is aggressive and not suitable for placement. Final decisions will be made by the owner or their personal representative.

AHS will spay/neuter and provide an ID tag to all animals adopted through Loved for Life to ease pet overpopulation and increase the likelihood of returning lost pets to their homes.
