Pet Adoption



When you're looking to add a pet to your life, consider adopting a homeless animal from your local shelter. Whether you want a puppy or a more mature dog, a purebred or a one-of-a-kind mixed breed, even a rabbit or hamster, your shelter has the best selection of animals anywhere—all screened for good health and behavior. Most shelters will even help you with spaying and neutering.
The animal shelter is your top source for a new pet, and our pet-care experts have compiled all the information you'll need to find your nearest shelter, select a pet who matches your lifestyle, and more.

Thanks for this great post promoting responsible adoption! A lot of failed adoptions (and sad returned pets) could work out if people had a little more preparation and info choosing a rescue pet that suits their lifestyle, and I appreciate you helping get that valuable info out there.
