Why Adopt from a Rescue Group or Shelter?

Puppy Mills and Back Yard Breeders, operating in dismal conditions in garages, basements, barns and bedrooms, produce huge numbers of puppies each year for profit and no other reason. They sell through retail pet stores and through classified ads.

These mills are not necessary to meet the public's demand for companion dogs, as there are more than enough wonderful dogs in shelters across the province that need homes.

Millions of unwanted and homeless kittens are born in our country each year. During peak kitten season, from April to September, pounds and humane shelters across Canada euthanise abandoned and unwanted cats at the rate of ONE PER MINUTE

 Are you looking for a dog?

Dogs who eventually find themselves in CAPS' care start their journeys at Annapolis County Animal Control. For those first few days, dogs may be adopted directly from "the pound". A list of those animals can be viewed here.

 

 

We have kittens!

These adorable adoptables are waiting for their forever home.  CAPS also urgently requires foster homes for these babies.  If you wish to adopt or foster, contact us at: info@cap-annapolis.org
