About this shelter

Covenant Pet Trust Inc. in Lake City, FL

Covenant Pet Trust Inc. is a registered nonprofit organization dedicated to educating and supporting pet owners in planning for the future care of their pets when they can no longer do so themselves. We serve all pet owners, including those who are terminally ill or permanently disabled. Our mission is to ensure that pets and their owners remain together for as long as it is medically possible, while also respecting the owners' wishes regarding their pets' future care. Our services include in-home care assistance to help keep pets comfortable at home, as well as options for foster care, relocation, re-homing through our adoption program, or other necessary arrangements. The Directors and Volunteers of Covenant Pet Trust are committed to providing comfort and peace of mind to pet owners, while actively working to prevent neglect, abuse, and unnecessary euthanasia of pets.

Adopting from Covenant Pet Trust Inc.

Adoption process

When an animal enters our organization, we conduct a health check, administer vaccines, perform spay/neuter procedures, and provide a microchip. The animal is then placed in a foster home. When the pet is ready for adoption, we require an adoption application, which includes a meeting between the potential adopters and the animal at our facility. We mandate that any existing pets in the household must be up to date on vaccinations and heartworm prevention. We perform an online county criminal background check. If the applicant claims to own their home, we verify this with the county appraiser's office. For renters, we contact the landlord to obtain permission for pet ownership. Additionally, we conduct a home visit to ensure the safety of the pet in the new environment. Once the adoption is approved, the microchip is registered to both the new owner and our organization, ensuring that the pet can be identified if it is ever surrendered to a shelter. All adopters are informed that they can return the pet at any time and under any circumstances and are required to sign an adoption agreement. The adoption fee is $115.00.
