The Animal Protectorates wraps its arms around every pet coming into our program.  We love them, nuture them, give them veterinary care – help them get past the trauma of the shelter and losing their families.  We study their personalities and nuances and love their individuality – and do that until we have a good understanding of what type of home they may thrive in – for however long that takes.

We are very selective in where our pets are placed once they come into the program because our mission is not like a municipal shelter where the sheer volume of animals being taken in makes it necessary to adopt based sometimes only on a person being of legal age and nothing else.  Our mission, instead, is to find the best matched home for a particular pet.  While a family may be an excellent family – they may not be the right home for a particular pet they have expressed an interest based on the pet’s outward appearance.  We dig deeper in our adoption approach.

Because we have a donated beautiful and safe place for our pets to live, we focus on finding their very best next story – a story we want to be a fairy tale for them.  We seek to transform their lives from a state of hurt, fear, neglect and loneliness to one of joy, security, love and calm.

The Animal Protectorates does its very very best to Transform A Pet’s Story.
