| HAMPSHIRE COUNTY PET ADOPTION PROGRAM Matching Companion Pets With People |
WHO IS HCPAP?
Hampshire County Pet Adoption Program has been
rescuing dogs for over 9 years. 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.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND HCPAP.
Five foster homes and eight volunteers make up
HCPAP. All HCPAP's volunteers have full time jobs
and/or are full time students.
We all have devoted the little spare time we have to
finding homes for so many great animals.
