If the staff determines at intake that your pet is not a candidate for adoption you may take the animal back home with you or try other humane alternatives and agencies.

Upon arrival at CAP, your animal will be evaluated and it will be determined if he/she is a candidate for our adoption program. Information about this program can be found below. If we do not currently have room to accept your pet or if you have time to assist in finding them a new home, we highly recommend enrolling the pet in our Weekend Sponsor Program. CAP is a "Managed Intake Shelter" and there may be days when we cannot accept animals as we do not have the space to humanely house and care for them. You are welcome to call to see what current availability we have in general, however, space changes constantly. Map and HoursĬAP accepts animals on a first come - first served basis if we have available room. We do not make appointments or make reservations for intake. Intake areas are open seven days a week from 10am - 2pm. Please see below for information on both options. Unfortunately, it does become necessary to euthanize some animals that are suffering from injuries, contagious diseases, and severe aggression.ĬAP offers two options to assist in rehoming your pet - Shelter Surrender or Weekend Sponsor. If we have space for an animal we will take it and as long as the animal is healthy and has a good temperament, the animal will stay at CAP until adopted. CAP is a "Managed Intake" Shelter which means that we do not euthanize animals to make room for more animals, because of breed, or how long they stay at the shelter.

However, due to the pet overpopulation crisis, the sad reality is that not all animals find homes and some are euthanized. CAP's adoption ratecontinues to be over 92%.

That is why we try every resource at our disposal to place the animals that are brought to us. Citizens for Animal Protection realizes how difficult it can be to give up a pet.
