Abandoned Animal Guidelines

If you find an abandoned animal:

• SCAA is NOT an animal shelter. We facilitate finding abandoned animals foster homes and adopted homes but if you pick up an abandoned animal, it becomes YOUR responsibility completely.
• We do not accept physical delivery of any animal nor do we have a physical address for you to deliver an animal to, and none of the projects we support have room for new animals.
• If you find an abandoned animal we can help you get medical care at a discount and, over time, try to help you place the animal in foster care (foster parents are very limited) or get it adopted out. Please note that the discount is only available for animals that have been pre-approved by SCAA founder Carol Wolfson .
• In terms of medical care, we have generous sponsorship by PAW Veterinary Clinic where they will provide an initial check-up of SCAA sponsored animals for RMB 100, not including full cost for any medical care that may be required.
• If the animal is healthy, we can help you try to foster/adopt it.
• If it is very sick, the animal may need to be euthanized. If you are not willing to face the possibility of euthanizing an animal, we cannot help you.
• If the animal is healthy you will need to take care of it until SCAA can find a foster parent or adoptive home.
• You are also welcome to bring your healthy animal to our twice-monthly adoption days (for more information, please see our events calendar ), and to post the animal’s photo/ description on our website please contact us. Please note that if you bring an animal to an Adoption Day and it is NOT adopted out, you will need to take it home with you.
• If you are a third party (meaning not a foster parent) that has an animal you would like to adopt out, we can help you but if we do adopt out your animal at our Adoption Day, we require a minimum donation of RMB 200 (RMB 100 to become an official SCAA supporter and RMB 100 to put your animal at our Adoption Day). Whenever we are successful at adopting out your companion animal, we require another minimum donation of RMB 500.  This is because if we adopt out YOUR animal, we adopt out one fewer of our own fostered animals; we are providing a very convenient service for third parties, but this lessens the success for our own foster parents who often give months of their energy, funding and love to heal an animal and provide a loving home until we successfully find a permanent home. All third party animals must be healthy and spayed/neutered (or RMB 500 provided for spay/neutering). Third party attendance at our Adoption Day must be approved in advance by founder Carol Wolfson
