Adoption

The staff and volunteers at TMAC work diligently to place our adoptable animals in loving, permanent homes.

How to Adopt from Table Mountain Animal Center:
We have a variety of pets available for adoption. To adopt:

1. Visit the Center or one of our alternative adoption locations to find a pet.
   
2. Once you’ve decided on an animal, you should check with staff to see when that animal is available for adoption.
   
3. At this time, you can fill out an adoption application.
   
4. Once your application is accepted, you can pay the adoption fees and take your new pet home. PLEASE NOTE: Your animal may need to be spayed or neutered before going home with you.

There are a few things you should know when adopting an animal from Table Mountain Animal Center:

• Center staff has the discretion to accept or deny your application based on the information you have supplied in the application.
  
• You will be required to bring other family members and other household pets in to the Center to become acquainted with the animal before you can adopt.
  
• In an effort to help facilitate pets being returned to their homes in the event they are lost, ALL ANIMALS WILL BE MICROCHIPPED BEFORE BEING ADOPTED.
• In an effort to help reduce pet overpopulation, ALL ANIMALS WILL BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED BEFORE BEING ADOPTED.

Be sure to read the additional conditions of adoption listed on the animal adoption agreement.

What to Expect:

Adopting an animal is a big responsibility and a life-changing decision. It is a difficult task to find a suitable match between a potential adopter and the right pet. Are you ready to adopt?

• Dogs and cats often live longer than 15 years. Are you ready to take on this responsibility?
  
• Are you familiar with animal control regulations in your area?
  
• Do you or does anyone in your family have allergies?
  
• Do you plan to place personal identification on your new pet?
  
• Are you familiar with the inoculations and veterinary care your new pet will require?
  
• Are you planning to move in the near future?
  
• Which member of your household will be primarily responsible for feeding your new pet?
  
• How many hours per day will your new pet be left alone?

It may take you and your new pet some time to adjust to its new environment. If you have questions or concerns after adopting, please contact us at 303.278.7575.

Adoption fees include the cost of spay/neuter and first vaccines, medical exam and microchip.

Please note: Rabies vaccines are not included with your adoption fees; yet, are required by Colorado Law for cats, dogs and ferrets.
