It is important that all our animals find permanent and loving homes.  Before making the decision to adopt a pet from the Susquehanna SPCA, consider the following:

• Dogs and cats can live at least 10 to 15 years.  Adoption is a commitment.
• Housetraining a dog or puppy can be challenging.
• All cats and dogs require annual veterinary visits for check-ups and vaccinations.
• They also need daily exercise and playtime; shelter, food and fresh water; and LOTS of love and patience.

You can view our adoptable pets online at http://www.petango.com/cooperstown

When you visit the PETANGO site, be sure to scroll all the way down the page to see the links to view all available adoptable animals.

Before you can adopt a pet, you must submit an application.  It can take up to three days for your application to be processed and approved. 

Please note that:

• All animals will be spayed or neurted prior to leaving the shelter.
• If you have owned a pet within the last five years, we require a reference from a veterinarian.
• If you rent or lease your proporty or home, we require permission from your landlord.
• We reserve the right to refuse any application filed with us.
• We reserve the right to reposses any adopted animal if the adopter fails to comply with our Adoption Agreement.
