Adoption Information
Adopting animals from a shelter is compassionate choice that saves lives. Shelters are filled with loving pets in need of a forever home, and by adopting, you provide them with a second chance. Additionally, shelter pets are vaccinated and spayed or neutered, making the pet's transition to your home much easier.

Rabies Vaccination (age appropriate)
-
PetLink Microchip

Benefits of Adopting
Saving a Life and Reducing Overpopulation:
-
Second Chance:
Shelters are full of animals who have been abandoned, lost, or surrendered, needing a second chance at a loving home.
-
Breaking the Cycle:
Adopting helps break the cycle of pet overpopulation by giving animals a home and preventing the need for euthanasia due to overcrowding.
Supporting Animal Welfare:
-
Opposing Puppy Mills:
Adopting from a shelter means you're not supporting unethical breeding practices in puppy mills or backyard breeders.
-
Reducing Cruelty:
By choosing adoption, you're helping to reduce demand for animals from places that prioritize profit over animal welfare.

Practical Benefits:
-
Lower Costs:
Adoption fees are typically much lower than the cost of purchasing a pet from a breeder or pet store.

Pre-Trained and Healthy:
Many shelter pets are already house-trained and have received basic vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and other health care before adoption.
-
Variety of Choices:
Shelters offer a wide variety of dogs, cats, and other animals, allowing you to find the perfect match for your family and lifestyle.
Additional Benefits:
-
Support for a Good Cause:
Your adoption fee helps support the shelter's mission of providing care for homeless animals and promoting responsible pet ownership.

Community Involvement:
Adopting from a local shelter helps support your community's animal welfare efforts.
