Pagosa Animal Advocates encourages the adoption
pets by responsible and qualified persons.
A special needs animal is one that is ...
injured
ill
handicapped
underage
undersocialized
a restricted breed
continually chained/penned
facing euthanasia
Adoption fees ($75 for dogs; $30 for cats) are immediately used to pay the ongoing costs of rescuing
these special animals. We do not receive funding from the city or the county and we have a very limited budget.
Do to the nature of a foster home network, appointments are required in advance to meet our available pets.
'New dogs meet existing dogs' is a requirement for all dog adoptions.
We do not ship pets.

OUR ADOPTABLE PETS
It’s tough to be a homeless pet. It’s a really rough road for a homeless senior or special needs pet. All too often, they are passed over by adopters -- some worry about the potential vet bills and daily care requirements, some don't believe that they 'can teach an old dog new tricks' while others are reluctant to give their hearts to a pet who may not have 10-15 years of love left to offer. Yet one kind heart at a time, people are beginning to discover the joys and rewards of adopting these "extra special" pets.
Please take a moment as we pay tribute to senior pets who are often overlooked for adoption.
