About

Recycled Pets, Inc. was founded by Teri McAllister in 2000. It is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization run solely by volunteers. We are dedicated to the rescue and adoption of unwanted pets. Recycled Pets, Inc. places a strong emphasis on spay/neuter programs and we've recently received a grant to implement a low cost spay/neuter program of our own. All of our rescued animals are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. We are an all breed rescue, therefore you may find a happy-go-lucky Heinz 57 or a purebred cocker spaniel or an angora cat or a pretty little tabby. They're all special in their own way and we hope you think so too! Each and every animal that we rescue has a home with us until they find that special someone to adopt them. We are a no-kill shelter and are committed to caring for the pets in our care in the best manner possible. Teri McAllister is President. She goes non-stop in the care of these animals. She is a groomer and can make the gnarliest looking dog look like a million bucks. We have taken dogs destined for euthanasia at the local pound because they looked (and smelled) just awful and turned them into beautiful well-loved pets in their new adoptive homes. She is up with the birds to be sure they get out and are fed; she stays up with them half the night if they are sick; she rushes home from work to let them out and clean their kennels; and she cries if they pass over the Rainbow Bridge. It is this dedication and undying love of our furry, four-legged friends that fuels Recycled Pets, Inc. There is no better champion to homeless animals.

Adoption process

1. Fill out an on-line application. 2. A volunteer will review the application, and will contact you either by phone or e-mail with questions. Approved applicants will be scheduled an appointment to meet the pet for which they have applied. If we feel you are not a good fit for the animal for whatever reason, you will be notified via e-mail. Typically, this process takes about a week. 3. Adoption fees cover the spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, worming and microchip. There is an additional $15 microchip registration fee at the time of adoption that is not covered by the adoption fee. You will find that our fee is considerably less expensive than going to the vet yourself. Our vets support rescue and provide reduced rates for their services. 4. Adoption fees must be in cash only and an adoption contract signed. This is a binding legal document that provides for returning the pet if no longer wanted and allows for quick reclaim if there is abuse; the animal is found roaming free; or the pet is suffering from neglect. Occasionally, there will be a follow up inquiry as to how the adopted pet is doing and, hopefully, you would like to share your success story with us to post on the web.
