How to adopt:
The Pet Adoption Program began in 1985. Funded by the Citizens Committee for a Lakewood Animal Shelter (CCLAS) and the City of Lakewood, the program’s focus is to find good homes for healthy stray animals. 1) Animal Control Officers pick up stray puppies, dogs, kittens, or cats that are wondering the streets.
They are transported to the animal shelter in the Metroparks where the animals are held for several days waiting for the owner to claim it. If unclaimed, it may be put up for adoption. Some animals are abandoned at the Shelter, some are brought in by citizens after finding the strays in empty buildings, under porches, etc.
2) All animals are examined upon arrival. If they appear healthy, they are given an initial vaccination and worming medication. Any minor ailments, such as fleas or ear mites, are treated. The animals is then ready for adoption.
3) If an animal is selected, the necessary paperwork is completed.
Included with your $35 adoption fee is a collar and identification tag and a spay/neuter certificate valued at $75,
redeemable at any local veterinarian.
