Established in 2000, Lone Pine Shelter is a non-profit, 100% no-kill animal sanctuary group dedicated to the rescue of abused, neglected, and abandoned animals in our area. Through our network of compassionate volunteers we provide much needed loving care, medical attention, and socialization in a home environment whenever possible. Since we are no-kill those deemed "unadoptable" are provided a loving sanctuary to live out their days. In an effort to end the cycle of cruelty and overpopulation we strive to educate the public on humane treatment of animals and the importance of spaying and neutering dogs and cats. We believe euthanasia should only be used to end suffering and not to control the population.
The amount of time an adoption takes really depends on where you are adopting from, and the time of the week. For example, if you see a cat you like at PetSmart on a Tuesday night, and you come home and fill out an Cat Adoption Application or Dog Adoption Application online. In that case you could take home the kitty Wednesday night. Another example would be coming and seeing a dog at our Shelter Facility during one of our Saturday visits. You decide you like Fido, and you want to adopt him. You fill out an application in person and hand it to a volunteer. On Monday, we would call, verify your references, get back to you Monday or Tuesday. Then you could come finish the adoption after you Schedule An Appointment. That timeline would be depending on when you could get to the shelter, and when we could arrange a volunteer to meet you. So, the timeline can go from one day, to three or four days, just depends on how it plays out.
