Our Pet List

PLEASE NOTE: Dogs & cats listed may or MAY NOT be at the Boynton PetSmart on any given weekend. Please read each pet's description carefully for their status and email any questions. We are all volunteer, and all dogs are in foster homes. Some dogs are courtesy postings. There is no guarantee that any of the listed dogs will be at PetSmart. Also, we do not ship. ALL adoptions and fosters are limited to those who reside within the State of Florida, and/or who can pick up the pet in person. We thank you for your inquires, but we are unable to return out-of-state phone calls due to limited funds at this time.

Pet of the Month

Our pet of the month is .........

SAD*SAC Petfinder listings get about 1,000 visitors per week. The majority of 'hits' are on our listed puppies. Puppies are adorable - who could resist one! They are small, affectionate, cuddly!! They are also dangerous. Dangerous because they can seem so appealing, that it is easy to overlook the tremendous amount work that is involved in caring for one. If you are looking for a puppy, please consider a young adult or adult dog, too. Adult dogs are usually already house-trained, leash trained, cat-trained, chew-trained, and kid tested. You can tell exactly what their ultimate size & temperment will be like. There are so many advantages to adopting an adult dog. Most of all, they need homes terribly! Please, if you are looking for a puppy, please consider an adult pet. If you are not sure whether an older pet would adapt to your home, we have an excellent fostering program (see below) which may help you decide. We have so many pets to choose from; please drop in at PETsMART to talk to one of our volunteers, or e-mail us, to find out which one might be right for you.

News

We are actively pursuing adding new foster homes to help us rescue more unwanted pets. Many of our adult dogs are kept boarded in a kennel, and most of our cats are at PETsMART, since we just don't have enough homes to foster them all until they are adopted.

Fostering is excellent for the pets, as it allows them to become adjusted to family life. It also allows us to better assess their temperments, and their likes and dislikes. Fostering is also an excellent way for potential adopters to see if a particular type of pet (dog or cat) will suit their lifestyle. A potential first time pet owner may not completely understand the amount of work (and the amount of joy) that can result from adding a cat or dog to the home. Current pet owners might want to add another pet to their home, but may not be sure how their existing pet will adjust. By being a foster parent, potential adopters can care for a pet for a finite amount of time, without making a formal adoption (which is a lifetime commitment).

If your are thinking about adoption, but not quite sure of the impacts of having a new dog or cat, or if you just love animals (and the more pets in your home, the better) please consider our fostering program. Please contact us (see contact information at the end of this site) for more information.

Who We Are

SAD*SAC is organized to address the plight of unwanted, abandoned, and abused dogs and cats. Our goal is to find loving homes for these animals and to establish programs aimed at reducing the unwanted pet population.

It’s an old problem and a new way for YOU to help. Save A Dog! Save A Cat! Be a HERO ! Did you know that owners who bring their PETS to local shelters as UNWANTED are often being told that their pets will be EUTHANIZED IMMEDIATELY because there is no room? No five day reprieve for them. They are young and old, naughty and nice, pets who have one thing in common…their owners no longer want them…for good reasons or bad…It doesn’t matter. What does matter is that these pets all need homes NOW!

SAD*SAC is dedicated to saving the lives of pets who would otherwise be neglected, dumped in strange neighborhoods, onto highways, or taken to shelters which are bursting at the seams with unwanted pets.

Adopting a friend

SAD*SAC dogs and cats are available for adoption upon completion of an adoption application and adoption donation. An adoption contract is required for all approved homes. The adoption fee for Cats is $70.00, and for neutered Dogs and Puppies is $150.00. Puppies that are not neutered/spayed require an additional $50.00 neuter/spay deposit. When the adopter has the puppy neutered/spayed (within 3 months of adoption) and submits proof of the surgery to SAD*SAC, the complete deposit will be returned. In addition, all pets are micro-chiped, and all adopters must pay $15.00 for the micro-chip registration. Note: We'd like to thank folks outside of Florida for their interest in our available pets, but we do not have shipping capabilies.
