Satellite and Mobile Adoptions
Did you know that less than 18% of family pets are adopted from animal shelters? Here at the AWS we understand that some people wouldn't think to stop by the shelter when it's just as easy to purchase an animal from a breeder, pet store or from the newspaper. In an effort to bring our animals to the forefront, we now have Satellite and Mobile Adoption Programs that bring the AWS animals out into the community.
Satellite Adoptions: Many local pet supply stores across York and Cumberland Counties participate in our program by hosting an adoptable cat or rabbit (or both)! These animals can be viewed at the pet store, and are cared for by the store staff. The adoption process is similar to at-the-shelter adoptions and potential adopters are required to come to the shelter to go over the adoption contract and paperwork with a trained Adoption Counselor. The following facilities participate in our Satellite Program. Visit them frequently to see the wonderful, available AWS animals.
Petsmart in Biddeford hosts a satellite cat adoption center with up to 12 available cats!

Hookah
|
This handsome little devil is a spunky young guy who loves to play with anything he can get his hands on! Hookah, a one year old neutered male is looking for a family that loves an active cat who likes to play chase for hours or roll around in catnip being fresh. His rough and tumble style of play is sometimes too much for laid back cats but he does extremely well with any other playful felines. A very confident cat indeed, Hookah would certainly stand up to any dog willing to challenge him and would not tolerate one who may chase him. He would do best with a well balanced dog who will respect him. He greets all he meets with a head butt or a cheek rub and makes friends quickly so you won’t miss him when you enter his community room here at the shelter. His bountiful energy and comical entertainment are sure to make you smile, you don’t want to miss out on this feline!

Shiraz is an 8 year old spayed female who is cute as a button and absolutely loves your company. Arriving as a stray, she has some scarring to her cornea resulting from a previous injury, but no further treatment is necessary.

Mobile Adoptions: The Animal Welfare Society is branching  out into the exciting new area of mobile adoptions. In order to reach people outside of our immediate community, we understand that people do not want to have to travel long distances to visit the shelter. So we're bringing the shelter to you! We are forming a team of skilled volunteer adoption counselors that will travel to remote locations such as pet supply stores, other merchants and animal friendly organizations. These volunteers will be bringing along a number of small animals and cats that can be viewed, visited with and adopted right on site!
While we are still dedicated to finding  the most responsible home possible, we also feel that these animals are much better served in a loving home, as opposed to sitting in the shelter facility. These mobile adoptions will inject new life into our adoption program and will hopefully find loving homes for our many cats and small animals in need. In the future it is possible that dogs might be on their way out of the shelter and will visit a location near you. Please watch for us out in your community!
Let our trained adoption counselors help you find the perfect animal for your family!
