Question 1

How do I adopt a pet from Sarge’s?

Accepted Answer

If you see a pet that you like on our website or in our Petfinder.com listings, you can contact Sarge’s by phone or email to find out more about it. If it sounds like the right pet for you, please submit an adoption application. You can either do that online or you can visit the office and fill out a paper application.

Office staff or a volunteer adoption coordinator will contact you to follow up. Arrangements will be made for you to meet the pet and if all goes well, take your new pet home. We do adoptions every day of the week – not just on Saturdays!

Question 2

Why does Sarge’s prioritize accepting Haywood County shelter animals into the rescue program?

Accepted Answer

Sarge’s was designed to pull from local county shelters, to help open up capacity for more animals needing help.  Our efforts have help increase the “live release rate” in those shelters so that they can remain a “no-kill shelter”. We must maintain those efforts in order to help our county shelter continue to achieve that status.

Question 3

How do I become a Sarge’s foster home?

Accepted Answer

Please fill out a volunteer application to start the process of learning more. Our foster homes do more than just open a space at the Adoption Center. They provide an opportunity for homeless pets to receive extra attention, basic training and social skills, and experience loving human companionship while they wait to find a forever family.

Question 4

How can I find a new home for a pet that I can’t keep or a stray that I found?

Accepted Answer

If you’ve been taking care of a stray animal, the first thing to do is try and find its owner. Some of these same methods can be used to find a new home for a pet that you can no longer keep:
• Please call the Haywood County Animal Shelter at (828) 456-5338 to do a “found animal” report.
• Facebook, Twitter, Instagram! Social media is a powerful tool for finding a pet’s owner. Post a picture and description on the group Facebook page, “Finding My Way Home”.
• Have a veterinarian check for a microchip! The Haywood County Animal Shelter and Sarge’s can also scan for a chip.
• Put a Rehoming Listing on Sarge's Rehoming page.
• Put an ad in the newspaper
• Put posters in local veterinarians’ offices, the Haywood County Animal Shelter and other locations in your neighborhood
• You can post a listing on Petfinder.com.

Question 5

Do you offer a low-cost spay/neuter program?

Accepted Answer

No, but Haywood Spay/Neuter does! Please check their website or call (828) 452-1329. We also refer people to Noah's Ark Humane for access to spay/neuter surgery.
