Meet Jasper. He is our first sponsored adoption. Thanks to Genafer Foree’s donation, Jasper can be adopted for no additional cost. Plus he is already microchipped. Jasper is great with kids and will be a perfect addition to your family. Stop by the shelter to meet him and fill out an adoption application. Special thanks to Jasper’s sponsor, Genafer Cantrell.

Meet Tadpole. He was adopted as a kitten and returned a year later due to allergies. He's a sweet boy that loves relaxing in calm spaces. He will play with a person, but he is not a fan of other animals or loud noises. He really needs a new home for the holidays.
Let us know if you are interested in adopting Tadpole OR interested in sponsoring his adoption fee. Currently, we are offering half of adoption fees for all dogs and cats over 6 months. However, you can sponsor Tadpole's adoption fees for only $35, making his adoption fees zero for the new family. This special is offered through the remainder of 2021.

Sponsor an adoption this Holiday Season for only $35. An adoption sponsorship allows someone else to adopt that sponsored pet for free. Your $35 sponsorship covers a $20 limited-time adoption fee and a $15 microchip fee. The sponsored pets will be posted and the Shelter Staff will use the application screening process to choose the right adopting family.
Your sponsorship will allow dogs and cats to be adopted at no cost. However, any unsponsored pets over 6 months will be eligible for a $50 adoption fee through the rest of 2021.

Come by the Batesville Petsense this Sunday November 21 from 11 am- 3 pm.
If they're not adopted before Sunday, we plan to bring Winnie, Sasuke, Jasper, Sparky, Patches, Wally, Bubba and Willow, and maybe Rosalina.
If you are considering adopting a pet, this is a great time to meet and greet. If adoption isn’t in your llama, just come by to pet some furry friends! You could also consider paying forward an adoption fee for someone else.
Join us this Sunday!
