| HAMPSHIRE COUNTY PET ADOPTION PROGRAM Matching Companion Pets With People |
WHO IS HCPAP?
Hampshire County Pet Adoption Program has been
rescuing dogs for over 8 years. Just recently have we
stepped in to rescue cats & rabbits. We are a
non-profit organization maintained solely by
volunteers. [ 501c(3)] We are not a shelter. All of
our animals are fostered in the homes of our
volunteers. You can find us every Saturday at
PetSmart in Winchester, Virginia between the hours
of 11:00 a.m. & 4:00 p.m.
WHERE DO OUR ANIMALS COME FROM?
All of our dogs are strays or have been released to us
by their owners. Our cats have been either strays or
abandoned. Our rabbits were surrendered to us by
previous owners. We also help out local shelters
whenever possible.
DO WE EUTHANIZE?
We are fortunate enough to not have to euthanize
based on the time it takes to find them their perfect
home. However, because our animals are in foster
homes, this does greatly limit the number of animals
we are able to rescue at one time.
WHY DO WE FOSTER?
Fostering gives us the unique ability to match each
animal with an appropriate owner. We are able to
discover the personality of each individual animal
and the type of environment they will flourish in.
This allows us to determine how your new pet will
behave around other dogs, cats, and children. This
also gives us an opportunity to socialize & introduce
training to each dog, cat & yes, even rabbits can
learn a trick or two.
