Your Guide to Adopting a Pet

Why Choose Pet Adoption?

Here are some of the benefits of adopting a pet from a local animal shelter:

• It's a wonderful way to give an animal a second chance at a happy life. Pets of all types, sizes, and personalities fill shelters, waiting for a loving home.
• Local animal shelters and rescues care deeply for their animals and can provide helpful information about their behavior and needs. Adopting locally also allows you to meet pets in person, making it easier to bond and make sure they’re the right fit for your family.
• Pet adoption centers often have a wide variety of pets available, including purebred animals and those with unique mixes. If you have your heart set on a specific breed, look for breed-specific rescue groups!
• When you adopt, you’re not just helping one pet—you’re also freeing up space and resources for another animal in need.
