Evergreen Animal Protective League (EAPL)

Step by Step Process EAPL is a foster-based rescue. Except for our adult Cat Adoption Center, located in Chow Down Pet Supply in Evergreen, we do not have a shelter facility where applicants can come look at multiple animals at one time. Most of our animals are in foster homes that range from Denver, to Evergreen, to Northeast Colorado – where they are loved and cared for until they are placed in a forever home. Please read the Steps below to see how to meet an individual animal. Step One: The adoption process begins when you complete an online CAT OR DOG Adoption Application, naming one or more of our Available Animals or providing a description of the type of animal you hope to adopt. Completing an application does not restrict you to a specific animal, nor does it obligate you to adopt. Step Two: Once we have received your application and determined that you are a good match for the requested animal, we will contact you. The foster parent will then contact you to arrange a time for you to meet the animal, at which time you can decide if you would like to complete the adoption. After your initial meeting with the animal, one of our volunteers will conduct a home visit. This may occur before you take the animal home or when the animal is delivered to you. You may be asked to visit the animal more than once before taking it home. Step Three: Once the adoption is approved, you will need to complete our Dog Adoption Contract and pay the adoption fee. Step Four: We will keep in contact over the next few days to make sure everyone is happy. If so we will close out the adoption and your adoption fee will be deposited. Adoption Fee For All Dogs and Puppies – effective May 1st, 2024 – $375 Includes spaying or neutering, Distemper Vaccine(s) (DHPP), Rabies Vaccine (if applicable due to age), Deworming, Health Certificate Exam, and Treatment of any visible or known medical conditions.
