Adoption
Our adoption center has a great selection of animals for adoption, including adult dogs and cats plus kittens, puppies and often purebred animals. On average, purebreds account for about 25 to 30 percent of a shelter's dog population.
Did you know?
Many pets at the adoption center are waiting for new homes because they were obtained by people with unrealistic expectations of the time, effort, and money required to sustain a lifelong relationship with their pet. National figures indicate that about half of the animals in shelters are euthanized for lack of good homes.
The adoption center will assess the animals' health and temperament in order to make the best adoption matches possible. While caring for animals, staff and volunteers try to learn as much as they can about the animals so that the right adoption match is made.
Another advantage to pet adoptions is that the fees are usually much less than the purchase price of an animal from a pet store or breeder. And your new pet is more likely to be vaccinated, de-wormed, and spayed or neutered.
