BEST FRIENDS
Adoption Center Matches Pets with Families
Text by: Alexis Alexander
W
here did you meet your best friend?
High school or summer camp? For many
Union County pet lovers, their best
friendships came out of a visit to the
Union County Animal Protection Society
(UCAPS) Adoption Center.
The Adoption Center, a relatively new facility, is set up like
a home environment and gives UCAPS an opportunity to
showcase their adoptable pets.
UCAPS Board President Terra Walker describes the center
as a place where the whole family can visit with a pet they are
interested in adopting. Board member Sandra Maguire agrees,
pointing out that part of the reason the center was created was
because the central shelter location can be overwhelming for
pets and adopters.
The Adoption Center is set up like a living room, with a
couch and chairs. This allows adopters to see how the pet
would act in a home environment rather than interacting with
them though a cage at the shelter.
Elizabeth Haynes' family has several " besties " from UCAPS.
The latest, Princess Nora Jayne, went home with them from
the Center after Elizabeth stopped by to donate some dog
treats. A wagging tail captured her attention and the rest was
history.
" The really nice thing, " she says about her adoption
experience, " was that my family was able to come back and
meet with Nora Jayne at the center. We sat down in the living
room with my grandson and visited with the pup to see how
the pup would react to him. It was very relaxing and much
different from the crowded shelter. "
There is a fee for the adoption, which will be used to help
rescue other animals. The Adoption Center is located at
727 East Main. Their hours are noon - 3 p.m. on Saturdays
and 1 - 3 p.m. on Sundays. Other visits can be arranged by
appointment by calling 918-230-4851. You can visit their
