Puppy Promises is a program offered by Castaway Critters in conjunction with Saving Shelter Pets to help reduce the dog population in the North Georgia area. This program decreases the number of puppies who end up in shelters ( where they are exposed to diseases and a high-stress environment) and it prevents unwanted puppies from being born, abandoned, or euthanized.

Here's how it works. If your dog has puppies contact us and a representative will come to your home, vaccinate and de-worm the pups, take photos, and have you sign a contract stating that you will not give away or sell any of the pups. The contract also states that you will take the mother dog, as well as any other dogs in the household, to Peachtree Veterinary Hospital in Peachtree, NC, to be spayed or neutered. Saving Shelter Pets will pay for this procedure. The puppies will be transported to a no-kill rescue or shelter in a Northeastern state such as Connecticut, Vermont, or New Jersey where they will be altered before being adopted.

It is a win-win situation. All of your dogs will be spayed/neutered at no charge to you, and you will not have to find homes for the puppies. The puppies will be well cared for and sent to a state with mandatory spay/neuter laws where they will quickly find loving homes.
