Clover, a three-month old hound mix, joins the several hundreds of rescued dogs and cats that now wait for a loving home. Teaming up with Last Chance Animal Rescue, Petco Riverhead brings you Adoption Days every Saturday, when the organization’s rescued animals are presented at Petco each week and pet lovers can meet their future best friends or simply just say hello. Both puppies and adult dogs are available.
WHERE:
Petco, 1524 Old Country Road, Riverhead, NY. 11901.
WHEN:
Every Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
What you need to know:
In order to adopt, you must be at least 21 and have valid identification with a current verifiable permanent address.
You must also have stable housing, in which each member of the household agrees to the adoption, and you must have a verifiable phone number.
If you are a renter, you must show a copy of the lease or other proof from the landlord confirming that pets are allowed.
Children in the household must be mature enough to interact appropriately with the new pet.
Besides filling out an adoption application, you may be interviewed in-person or on the phone. The application takes two to three days on average to be processed and approved.
Animals cannot be put on hold or reserved.
At the time of adoption, a donation of $200 for dogs over six months old and $300 for dogs 6 months and under is requested before the animal is placed in a new home.
About Last Chance Animal Rescue:
Last Chance is a charitable, nonprofit organization that rescues animals located in “kill” facilities. They also work with local veterinarians for spay and neuter services until the animals find a permanent, loving home.
Last year alone, 850 animals were saved.
