10 GOOD REASONS TO GET AN ANIMAL FROM A RESCUE SHELTER
Save a life You are helping animal rescue groups save animal lives by re-homing the homeless rather than creating a market for additional kittens and puppies.
Offer new hope Many animals are victims of circumstance, moving, allergies, lack of forethought, and deserve a new home. These animals bring unconditional love and companionship.
Be a hero Adopters are heroes in the battle against overpopulation - and to their new companion.
Variety. Animal rescue organizations have it all – from purebreds to the most unique crossbreeds. Don't limit your look to a specific breed. Crossbreeds can have the best traits from a variety of breed-lines.
Animal personalities Our knowledge of the animals' characteristics, activity level, needs, traits and care requirements allow for excellent family matches and placement.
Experienced animals We don't just have puppies and kittens; we also have more experienced animals. With older animals there's no guesswork – what you see is what you get - which helps in looking for a compatible companion.
Knowledgeable staff and volunteers Our goal is to help you decide on the animal that is right for you, your family and lifestyle so our animals find life-long homes.
Health care Vaccinations, sterilizations, identification and more, are included in the adoption fee. (Contact each organization for details of what their adoption includes.)
Reasonably priced Most organizations subsidize the cost of preparing an animal for adoption in order to place more animals in new homes.
