Quality Pet Re-Homing
Since 15 June of 2006, we have been serving the pets and families of Coryell County and surrounding areas. Pet Adoption in Gatesville.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND - IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A VETERINARIAN THAT YOU HAVE USED AND HAVE A POSITIVE HISTORY WITHIN THE PAST 10 YEARS OR CURRENT - WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ADOPT TO YOU. YOU MUST HAVE AN APPROVED APPLICATION TO MEET AND ADOPT A PET. THE APPLICATION TAB CONTAINS A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VIEW A PET -SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL SO AN APPOINTMENT CAN BE MADE. OUR PHONE NUMBER IS NOT LISTED FOR A REASON. WE CANNOT HOLD PETS UP TO THE PHONE FOR YOU TO VIEW AND SHOP OVER THE PHONE, WE ARE RATHER BUSY AND DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON THE PHONE THAT HAVE ANSWERS PROVIDED FOR YOU HERE ON OUR WEBSITE -OR IN MORE DETAIL ON THE PET AD AT WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/CCPRNOKILL IN THE PHOTO TAB ALBUM "ADOPT". YOU ARE WECOME TO SEND EMAILS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION VIA "CONTACT US".
* CCPRNOKILL IS NOT FUNDED BY NOR DO WE RECEIVE ANY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ANY GOVERNMENT, STATE, COUNTY, OR CITY PROGRAM. ALL FUNDING IS PROVIDED BY THE GENEROSITY OF THE STRAUB FAMILY, THE BOUTIQUE AT CCPR, LOW ADOPTION FEES, AND DONATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC.
*CCPRNOKILL IS A RESCUE WHERE ANIMALS ARE NOT CAGED 24/7 BUT INSTEAD ARE ALLOWED TO ENGAGE AND LIVE IN COMFORT WITH HUMANS AND OTHER ANIMALS UNTIL THEY CAN BE PLACED IN FOREVER LOVING HOMES. CCPRNOKILL RELIES ON FOSTER HOMES AND VOLUNTEERS. CCPRNOKILL DOES NOT TAKE IN AGGRESSIVE DOGS THAT DO NOT GET ALONG WITH OTHER ANIMALS - WE SIMPLY WILL NOT PUT THE LIVES OF OUR CURRENT RESIDENTS IN DANGER. *CCPRNOKILL DOES NOT BELIEVE THERE TO BE ANY "BAD BREEDS" ONLY BAD HUMANS. WE DON'T JUDGE A PET BY IT'S BREED NOR DO WE ADOPT TO PEOPLE WHO DO.
.
*INTAKE*****SURRENDER******We understand that "life happens" and that there are circumstances beyond your control that have brought you to the decision to re-home your pet. We love caring and connecting with animals and creating everlasting relationships. We provide a safe place for your fur baby to be while they await placement in a forever home. We ensure that they receive the highest quality care and are adopted to fully vetted families. Your pet will not risk being destroyed at CCPRNOKILL. With our Forever Safe policy, once a pet is in the CCPRNOKILL program the pet is in the program for the lifetime of the pet. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE A SMALL RURAL FACILITY AND WE HAVE LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE. EVERY PET IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT HERE. WE ARE NOT IN RESCUE FOR THE NUMBERS TURNOVER WE ARE IN RESCUE TO SAVE LIVES. EVERY LIFE MATTERS. WE DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY OR FACILITY SPACE TO PICK UP STRAYS. CCPRNOKILL IS NOT NOW NOR HAVE WE EVER BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE CITY OF GATESVILLE KILL SHELTER POUND. Animals surrendered to city kill shelters are the first to be destroyed when space is needed for a new stray to come in because the city pounds know they will not collect any fees or fines for those pets that have been surrendered by their owners, No one is coming to "spring" a surrendered pet from the pound - so they are the first to be destroyed. AT CORYELL COUNTY PET RESCUE, WE DO NOT DESTROY ANY PET FOR ANY REASON. We Only Take in Pets surrendered by their responsible owners. Pets Must be altered, current on vaccinations, (parvo distemper, FELV/FIV, Rabies, Bordetella) FELV/FIV, Heart-worm Negative, non- aggressive towards humans and other animals. *There are intake fees for our services. Many of our pets come from people just like you, some are brought in by Sheriff's Department officers and others via the Highway Patrol from Puppy mills and Hoarding situations all over Texas.
___
We can only take in the pets that we have space for. In the event that you have a pet that we do not have space for please refer to:https://www.nokillnetwork.org/d/Texas/ for a list of no-kill facilities in Texas.
Once you have a rescue lined up to take in your pet we are happy to help transport if possible. CCPRNOKILL IS ALSO HAPPY TO MAKE A COURTESY POST FOR YOY IN ORDER TO HELP YOU NETWORK YOUR PET.
__
******CCPRNOKILL is ALWAYS requesting/accepting applications for large and small breed foster homes.
Simply fill out an Adoption application and where the name of the pet would be please type or print "Foster Application"
* CCPRNOKILL Takes in small and large breeds- THERE IS NO BREED BIAS HERE AT CCPRNOKILL -(when fosters are available for large breeds) from responsible pet owners. We do not have the capacity to pick up stray or lost pets. CCPRNOKILL is not associated with your city pound or kill shelter. On occasion when a found dog is brought to CCPRNOKILL, if the dog is not claimed within a reasonable amount of time (7 to 10 days) CCPRNOKILL will list the dog for adoption.
--If you find a dog in the county please call to see if we have space to take the dog in (254) 248-5002. Please do not just assume that we have to take it just because YOU found the dog & CHOSE TO PICK IT UP. YOUR CHOICE TO PICK UP A STRAY OR LOST PET DOES NOT MAGICALLY MAKE THE PET OUR RESPONSIBILITY! We simply do not have the space to take in every lost, found, abandoned, neglected, unwanted, dumped, or otherwise abused dog/cat/bird/ferret/rabbit/pig/pony/etc..
** INTAKE fees are based on the amount of responsible pet care that owners have already provided as well as the integrity and honesty of the owner. Intake fees are often waived depending on what vetting, training, grooming, etc. is left to be done prior to the pet being ready for adoption. It is our preference to keep a surrendered pet in our facility or foster home for at least 7-15 days prior to adoption so we can get to know their behavior patterns and peccadillos. Some owners are very forthcoming with the true facts when surrendering their pets, SADLY FAR TOO MANY ARE NOT. This causes us to have to enlist the costly services of a veterinarian, pet trainer, medical doctor, attorney, and/or repairman. This is why these intake fees are very important and why honesty is the best policy IF YOU ARE DISHONEST, YOU WILL BE FOUND IN BREACH OF CONTRACT AND THE CONTRACT WILL THEN BE VOID AND YOUR PET WILL BE TURNED OVER TO THE KILL SHELTER IF YOU FAIL TO RETRIEVE IT WITHIN 2 (TWO) HOURS OF CONTACT. WE HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR DISHONESTY.
_____________________________________
*** ADOPTION Fees are based on the amount of responsible pet care provided by CCPRNOKILL. Adoption Fees are then used to provide vetting and care for incoming pets. There is ZERO profit made by CCPRNOKILL as you can see in the low adoption fees posted in the available pet section. (i.e. $3500.00 spent for veterinary care for a pet lets to a $150.00 adoption fee - The highest ever charged by CCPRNOKILL at less than 10% of the expenses out of pocket for the pet's welfare. ADOPTION FEES MORE OFTEN RANGE FROM $15.00 to $175.00 (Far below what other rescues charge) CCPRNOKILL IS IN THE BUSINESS OF SAVING LIVES NOT MAKING MONEY. THE STRAUB FAMILY DONATES $35,000.00 PER YEAR TO CCPRNOKILL. THAT IS MORE THAN MOST FAMILIES MAKE.THE RESCUE ITSELF COSTS MORE THAN $250.000.00 PER YEAR TO RUN. JUST SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOR THOSE WHO IGNORANTLY BELIEVE EVERYTHING IN A RESCUE SHOULD BE FREE.
______________________________________________
```UNALTERED PET ADOPTION POLICY: PETS THAT COME TO THE FACILITY UNALTERED DO NOT LEAVE THE FACILITY WITHOUT BEING ALTERED. OUR ADOPTION CONTRACT INCLUDES A SPAY/NEUTER CONTRACT. WHEN AN UNALTERED PET IS ADOPTED - THE PET REMAINS AT CORYELL COUNTY PET RESCUE UNTIL THE PET HAS BEEN ALTERED AT CORYEL VETERINARY CLINIC AND THE BILL PAID IN FULL BY THE ADOPTER. THE ADOPTER IS WELCOME TO VISIT THE PET ON FACILITY GROUDS DURING THE WAITING PERIOD, HOWEVER THE PET DOES NOT LEAVE THE FACILITY UNTIL THE SPAY/NEUTER HAS TAKEN PLACE. THIS PREVENTS ANY AND ALL AYTEMPTS AT BREEDING. KEYBOARD KARENS SHOULD REALLY DO THEIR READING BEFORE THEY ATTACK THIS RESCUE FOR ADOPTING OUT UNALTERED PETS. CORYELL VETERINARY CLINIC DOES OFFER 25% OFF SERVICES FOR PETS ADOPTED FROM CORYELL COUNTY PET RESCUE NO KILL. OTHER SPAY NEUTER CLINICS ARE ACCEPTABLE AS LONG AS TRANSPORT CAN BE ARRANGED WITH THE RESCUE.

Coryell County Pet Rescue is NOT funded by NOR do we receive any financial contributions whatsoever from any Government, State, County, or City institution. We do not get grants or payments of any kind for the services we provide. We are not in any way whatsoever associated with the Coryell County Sheriff's Office or the City of Gatesville Police Department or Animal Control Office. THEY are not our bosses and cannot force us in any way shape or form to pick up or take in or "deal with" a stray pet within city limits or outside city limits in the county. (That is not proven to be a current CCPRNOKILL PET) CCPRNOKILL makes decisions as to what pets we do and do not have space for based on the foster homes and kennel space we have available and can deny any pet for any reason. CCPRNOKILL simply will not put the lives and wellbeing of our current residents in danger.

Reliable and Trustworthy Foster Families
We have volunteer foster families that bring pets awaiting forever homes into their families and provide them with the best possible care until the perfect match of pet and new home are found. Coryell County Pet Rescue also boards pets at Coryell County Pet Rescue's Boutique (2217 E Main St. Gatesville TX) so they can be pampered and viewed by possible adopters via appointment during business hours. Please see our Facebook Page for hours and telephone number as Callers continue to confuse the Boutique Phone Number with the Rescue Phone Number. Tying up the Boutique line when they have been told the Rescue Intake is Closed thinking they will get a different answer if they call the Boutique. ----------------
FOSTER FAMILIES FOR PETS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED. WHEN AVAILABLE - CORYELL COUNTY PET RESCUE IS HAPPY TO PROVIDE ALL WE CAN TO HELP FOSTER FAMILIES CARE FOR THE PETS NEEDS. ALL WE ASK IS FOR A SAFE LOVING ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PET TO BE UNTIL THE PET CAN BE BROUGHT INTO OUR FACILITY OR ADOPTED TO A FOREVER HOME.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FOSTERING A PET FOR CORYELL COUNTY PET RESCUE - NO KILL. PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION BY GOING TO THE APPLICATION TAB AND WHERE IT ASKS FOR THE PETS NAME PUT IN "FOSTER" IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
