BEAUMONT PETS ALIVE

Have a barn or job that needs to be done? We have just the cat for you. Every animal that enters doors is an individual, and with that in mind, works to find the best
living situation for each. Although we would love to see every cat live 100% of the time inside a home, we occasionally receive cats that would prefer a different type of living situation like a barn or warehouse. These cats are typically independent animals that prefer humans at a distance and do not enjoy being handled. The Working Cat Program was created for these cats because they, too, deserve the type of home that best suits their lifestyle.

This program is part of Beaumont Pets Alive’s continued mission to help the animals in our community who need us most.

The Good Dog Training Program was designed to help harder to adopt dogs find their forever homes. These dogs are wonderful dogs. They’re playful, sweet, and affectionate… Their problem? The way they look. Dogs in the Good Dog Training Program are usually 50 pounds or over and have the appearance of a bully-type breed —which some people may find intimidating. Beaumont Pets Alive is here to change that perception! With our Good Dog Training Program, these dogs complete some of the most hands-on training out of all the dogs at BPA. These dogs are put through a rigorous but fun 4-week training course ending with a certification exam to show off their newfound skills.

A new initiative through which members of the community help spread the word on their social media platforms about things the shelter hopes for people to get involved with. We want to leverage the power of neighborhood support, especially around social media and the nextdoor.com platforms, and spread the word about lifesaving adoption events, sleepover programs, fundraising events, new fostering initiatives, the need for donations, and more. The Pet Ambassador will help share information about our mission and programs by attending special events as an ambassador. This may include tabling special events, phone solicitation, event planning, participating in adoption events, distributing flyers, or promoting our work on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Nextdoor.com). All material and information will be provided before an event. We will cover everything from adoptions, safety net fostering, affordable veterinary care, Spay&Neuter, to Trap-Neuter-Return.

Providing Hope for Pets and Their Families. The link between animal abuse and domestic abuse is well documented. Up to 52% of victims entering shelters leave their pets with their abusers; often because domestic violence shelters lack the infrastructure to house companion animals. Beaumont Pets Alive partners with domestic violence shelters to bridge this gap and provide a safe haven for pets displaced by family violence. Animals entering our program are provided up to 90 days of shelter in a private foster home, where they are loved and cared for until they can safely be reunited with their families. Minor veterinary care is also provided as needed, free of charge to the victim or the shelter.

Low-Cost Veterinary Care For Heroes. Beaumont Pets Alive is a proud supporter of our police officers, firefighters, dispatchers, and EMTs. If you have adopted your pet from a rescue group or municipal shelter, you qualify for exceptionally low-cost veterinary care! All you need is your adoption paperwork and your agency ID card. *Because our mission is to encourage adoption and reduce the euthanasia rate; this offer is not valid for pets purchased from a pet store or breeder.*
