Welcome

Wescott Acres Pet Rescue is a small, non-profit, all volunteer rescue operating from Wescott Acres Luxury Pet Resort. Our purpose is to rescue abandoned, abused and neglected dogs and cats, give them veterinary treatment and support them emotionally. They stay at Wescott Acres Luxury Pet Resort or Foster Homes and receive loving care. We find homes where they can live the rest of their lives as an important part of a family. We emphasize the importance of spaying and neutering pets to prevent pet over-population.

Our community has a pet over-population problem which can be solved by spaying and neutering our pets. Over 20,000 pets per year are euthanized in Columbia area shelters at this time. We partner with Project Pet to save as many pets as possible from ending up unwanted or in animal control facilities.

In 2009, we rescued and found good homes for 396 dogs and cats! We have found homes for over 400 cats and dogs in 2010! This takes teamwork! We welcome new volunteers to get involved in our mission to save lives. Join our Adoption Team and see how rewarding it is to help find quality homes for homeless pets, or help us take photos of our new rescues, assist in administrative tasks, etc! We encourage you to get involved!

To adopt a pet, complete our on-line application for a dog or a cat and email it to us. You may also print the adoption application and bring it to our adoption event held each Saturday and Sunday - details above. We will go over your application, call your references, and may conduct a home visit. Wescott Acres Pet Rescue wants to ensure that our rescued dogs and cats are adopted into secure, loving homes where they will be valued companions and treated like family members.

FOR CAT/KITTEN adoptions, email Sue Solomon at SolomonSusan@bellsouth.net . Our adoption fee for kittens/cats is $100. All cats are feline aids/leukemia negative and on flea/tick prevention. We allow indoor/outdoor cat adoptions, as well as indoor-only cat adoptions.

FOR DOG/PUPPY adoptions, email WescottPets@WescottAcres.com . Our adoption fee for puppys/dogs is $150.00. All dogs are kept current on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention, have all age-appropriate vaccinations.

All pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed and microchipped prior to adoption. Some pets may be too small or young for microchipping or spaying/neutering, but we will do that for those pets when the time is right.
