Pets
Without Parents, founded in June of 2001, is a non-profit, no-kill,
|
all-breed
pet shelter. We strive to create a community that nurtures
& respects companion animals, and to someday see that every pet is loved. In order to
create such a community, Pets Without Parents functions as a pet adoption shelter,
carefully placing pets into forever homes. Additionally, we do
everything in our power to reduce the pet overpopulation. Every pet
is spayed/neutered before going to his/her new home. We can only
accomplish our mission by educating the community -- sharing our
beliefs helps to ensure that we are creating a better world for deserving
pets.
DONATE
Please help us carry out our mission. Despite popular belief, PWP receives no tax funding, but relies solely on the generosity of the community. PWP is a 501(c) 3 organization, meaning your donation is tax deductible. Donate today via secure PayPal.

featured dog: Penny
We know the right family is out there for Penny, we just hope they come along sooner than later. Penny is just a year old, but she's already lived in four homes!! Please, if you're looking to "rescue" a dog, this is your girl. Read her story on the Adopt page. |
It's not uncommon for people to ask us why they should adopt versus buy from a pet store or breeder. The answer is simple: when you adopt, you save a life. PWP is a no-kill shelter, but we pull pets from kill shelters. According the the Humane Society of the United States, 6-8 million pets enter shelters annually, but only 3-4 million get adopted. We have a crisis on our hands! Too many homeless pets. Another reason to adopt: shelter pets come with a veterinary package not offered by most breeders and pet stores (specifically, pets are already altered). Finally, when you buy from a pet store, you are supporting puppy mills, the deplorable, disgusting dog-breeding factories. Be a part of the solution! ADOPT!

featured cat: Kitten Palooza!!
We're overwhelmed with cats and kittens! We literally have no more cages. These, along with others, are living in the office. We simply cannot take anymore surrenders. Please - we need you to help our felines! If you're looking for a feline friend, make PWP your first stop. Don't fall trap to the "free to a good home" ads in papers*. While we do have an adoption fee, it's packed with a veterinary package. Our pets are already spayed/neutered, vaxed, dewormed, feline leukemia tested, and if they're 3 months+, they also receive a rabies shot. PLUS, during July and August, adopt one kitty, and the second kitty's adoption fee is half off (for qualified adopters). Adult cat adoption fees are also reduced. *Remember: there's really no such thing as a "free pet." ADOPT! ADOPT! ADOPT! |
