Who We Are
Volunteers for Animal Protection, Inc is a non-profit no-kill animal welfare organization that rescues and places abandoned, abused, and neglected cats and dogs into permanent loving homes. We have a small facility that we use to evaluate animals before they move to a foster or adoptive home. Most of our animals live in foster homes and come to adoption days on the weekends. The foster homes provide food, water and love to the animals until they are adopted. We spay/neuter all of our animals before they are adopted to families. We are a volunteer-based organization.
NEW! Foster to Adopt Program
You can foster an Adult Shelter animal for 30 days and a deposit of $100.00 to see if this animal will be a great fit in your home and family. This program is for the animals that have been at the facility for a long time waiting for that forever home. It gives them a chance to prove to the adoptive family just how great of a pet they are and how grateful they are for giving them a chance. Check at the bottom of the pet's Bio page to see if the program applies.
Sponsor an Animal
You can sponsor an animal for as little as $10.00 a month. This will help cover food and medical expenses for the animal of your choice. You will receive a picture and updates of your animal.
