New Leash on Life operates as a no-kill organization. Therefore, we accept pets (cats and dogs) by appointment only. In order for your pet to be placed on our intake waiting list, you will need to fill our the wait list form.

Wait List Placement: In order to be placed on our waiting list, please complete our waitlist form (incomplete applications will not be considered) and e-mail as an attachment to: waitlist@newleashonline.com along with 3 ‘current’ digital photos. You can also come to the Adoption Center Tuesday-Saturday between 1pm-5pm to complete the wait list form. 

 

Please note the following:

• There is an intake fee: $40 per cat or dog (to be collected at the time your pet is relinquished to New Leash on Life). 
• A $75 intake fee is collected for litters of puppies or kittens (the mother must be spayed and proof provided to staff at New Leash on Life).
• Donations above the stated fee are greatly needed and most appreciated. New Leash on Life is a non-profit and relies on donations.
• Pets are accepted on a space available basis only (as determined by staff).
• You will be called to bring your pet to the adoption center once staff determines that your pet can be accommodated (determinants might include: size, breed, age, temperament, coat color, etc.).
• We cannot accept aggressive, ill, injured, or feral animals.
• Sometimes, we aren't able to accept owner surrenders from outside Wilson County. This is always dependent upon available space and length of our wait list. (Cats and dogs from residents or Wilson Co are prioritized.)
• Dogs older than 6 months of age will be tested for heartworm disease.

If the pet is not spayed or neutered, please contact our low cost clinic, The JOY Clinic 615-281-0664. Pets who are spayed or neutered will receive priority status when space becomes available.

We are not the only animal welfare agency in the area. In addition to being added to our waiting list, please check other agencies (visit Petfinder.com or adoptapet.com) to maximize chances of re-homing your pet.
