Pet Adoption

We offer adult, youth, and group volunteer opportunities for animal care, clinic assistance, and event support. Training programs equip volunteers to handle animal intake, socialization, and adoption counseling while working under staff supervision.

Questions
What adoption requirements must I meet?
We require a valid ID, secure pet transportation method, and commitment to responsible ownership. All household members must meet the pet beforehand, and landlords must approve if renting.
How do spay/neuter income qualifications work?
Qualifications include government assistance participation (Medicaid, WIC, etc.) or income below specified thresholds. No documentation is required, but clients self-attest during appointment scheduling.
What post-surgery care should I expect?
Pets receive pain medication, post-op snacks, and detailed home care instructions. We provide email follow-ups and require restricted activity for 14 days with cone usage to prevent incision interference.
Can I volunteer without animal experience?
Yes, we provide training for all volunteer roles. No prior experience is required for basic animal care tasks like feeding, cleaning, and socialization under staff supervision.
How are donation funds utilized?
Donations directly support animal care costs including medical treatment, food, shelter operations, and facility improvements. We publish annual impact reports showing specific program funding allocations.

Brought our 2 male cats to be neutered, vaccinated, flea treatment and microchipped. The lady that took our boys into the clinic was very nice and helpful. Picked them up at 4:15 later on that day. One seemed to be a little more out of it than the other. They seem to be healing up nicely.

We got our cat at the Everett Petco when Noah was there. He's now turning 7 and as beautiful and spunky as ever. They we're so great and extremely happy someone adopted him, he was the last kitten in the litter. Because of being a Rumpy he has some special needs and ges worth it. I can't believe no one wanted him He's a huge part of our family

Adoption was easy, simple and our adopted kitty came with documentation and a microchip. They even gave us a coupon for free food/litter and a complimentary vet appointment.good for dozens of vets in the area! They are pricey on Adoption fees but you get what you pay for. Ginger has been an amazing part of our lives so far. We were sad to hear people often return kitties they adopt, so trust the process as they definitely take up to 4 months to settle in their new home with you.

What a Wonderful Experience! We wanted a puppy and we got to go in the suite with the pups and roll around on the floor with them. I fell in love with all of them, but went home with just one. Noah gives these animals all they need before they can be adopted. Spayed, chipped, and all shots. With the adoption you get a voucher for their first vet check up, and lots of coupons. The people at Noah are wonderful! If you want to adopt a pet, go to Noah! Our happy and healthy puppy is doing wonderful and we love her soooo much! We named her Betty after Betty White.

I participated in the Mom's last litter program when a young unaltered cat made herself at home and was pregnant. They took great care and spayed her for me at no cost and altered, vaccinated and adopted out the kittens. We enjoyed fostering the kittens until they were old enough to be adopted out. Very awesome place if you need great care for a low cost. Very friendly employees and volunteers there as well!
