Important Pet Adoption Considerations

IMPORTANT PET ADOPTION CONSIDERATIONS

YOUR FAMILY

Is anyone allergic to animal hair? Do you have small children who may be over powered by a large dog, or who may play too rough with a puppy, kitten, cat, or small dog? Is there a family member home to house train a young animal?

YOUR HOME

Do you have space for a large dog? A large dog needs safe outdoor space for exercise. If you are renting, will your landlord allow a pet to live on the property?

YOUR TIME

Do you have the time to regularly exercise a dog or to groom a long-haired cat? Will you be willing to clean up after accidents and vacuum animal hair that has shed?

YOUR BUDGET

Will you be able to afford the financial burden of maintaining a pet? In addition to food, toys and regular pet care supplies, pets require routine veterinary check-ups, shots, and medication. Licensing, grooming, altering and vacation care are additional expenses.

PET REQUEST

If we do not have the type of pet you are looking for right now, our staff will assist you in completing a pet request. You can specify the type, size, breed, or age of the pet you may be interested in adopting, and we can contact you if we get an animal we think you might be interested in. Search for pets available for adoption.
