Denton Clear The Shelter

Discover > Truly Texan > Denton Clear The Shelter

Denton Community Market is standing behind a great event this week. It’s teaming up with the rescue shelter in a program called “clear the shelter”. The goal is for the rescue shelter to make it even easier to adopt the animal in their care and to both clean their facilities and help you find a pet.

This is a nationwide event in which rescue shelters from all over the country will take place. A broader goal of the event is to not only clear the shelter, but raise the public awareness of rescue shelters and their role in the community.

The Event

The event is centered on the adoption, but it will be about more than that. The main way the shelter will help the visitors adopt is simply by letting go of the fees and the complicated procedure that usually goes with it. This time all you need to do is to come to the shelter and you’ll go home with a new pet.

Besides that, there will also be fun activities to bring your kids to. These include a face painting boot, a bounce house, and a chance to play around with as many animals as you like.

Adoption Fees

Adoption fees that need to be paid, when you’re adopting a rescue dog are rather high. It’s a state issue and in Texas, they depend on the age of the animal, but they start with $100. They could go as high as $250 depending on the circumstances.

All the fees will be waved during the event meaning that you won’t need to pay anything, and you’ll still get all the paperwork that you need to prove that you’ve adopted a dog and that now you have rights and obligations regarding it.

Adoption Pack

There’s a program that the shelter calls an adoption pack. That’s a set of services that you’ll get from the shelter free of charge during the event. That’s the pack after which you’ll be able to safely take home your new pet and be sure that it’s healthy and that you can take care of it.

The pack will include:

-Spray or neutering depending on what animal you’re adopting
-Vaccination that’s specific to the species you’re adopting
-Installing a microchip with registration
-Rabies shot

You’ll also get the documents proving that these tasks have been done and that your new pet is cleared for adoption.

The Adoption Process

Even though the process has been made shorter this time and set up to make the adoption easier, this doesn’t mean that you can just walk into the shelter and adopt a dog without any considerations. The shelter team will have a small questioner that you need to fill in and based on which you’ll get to adopt a pet or not. There will also be a short interview after it.

This means that the shelter itself will choose who can adopt a pet and that’s probably the best way to go since, they have plenty of experience in this area.

Bringing Your Own Pets

Many pet owners choose to bring their own dogs to the adoption for a meet and greet. That’s because they feel that it’s a good way for their old pet to meet and get used to the new one. It makes sense in some cases, but the policy of Denton Shelter is that it’s not allowed to do so. This is the decided, because not all shelter animals are used to other dogs and it’s a safety measure for everyone involved.

It will take some time to teach your dog to accept a new pet, but that training is something you should do at your own home instead of at the shelter.

What If a Pet is Not a Good Fit?

You could never know how the animal will fit in with your home and if you notice that the pet isn’t fitting in as you planned to, you could return the pet back to the shelter. If you’re from Denton, Texas, this could be done at any time.

If you aren’t from Denton, you have two weeks to return the pet to the shelter. If you decide to return the pet after that, you’ll need to bring it to the shelter where you live.

Conclusion

Denton rescue shelter is organizing a ‘clear the shelter” event. This is national event and it’s held in Texas just like anywhere else. The difference is that Texas shelters have a rather high fee when it comes to adopting a pet and during the event. This doesn’t mean however, that you can adopt a pet without going through an interview with the shelter.

The shelter offers a full package of service and you can’t bring your own dogs to the event, since that might be a safety issue.
