Adopt A Pet
Adopting a pet is one of the best decisions you can make. You are
providing a home for an animal that someone else was unable to care for
- either because of circumstance, or they just didn't know any better
and surrendered the animal to give it a chance at a better life.
You are also denying puppy mills and other
disreputable "breeders" the money they need to continue.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are all breeds adoptable?
Yes! All breeds of domestic cats and dogs are adoptable, provided they pass all socialisation tests and are proven to not be a danger to humans or other animals.
-
Can I adopt a kitten/puppy?
Puppies and kittens are frequently available; however, they tend to be adopted well before the older animals. You should look at the more mature animals available as well, as they are just as in need of good homes!
-
Can I adopt animals other than cats/dogs?
That depends entirely upon your area, and which rescue groups offer adoption services.
