Animal shelters and rescue groups are brimming with happy, healthy pets just waiting for someone to take them home. Most shelter pets arrived there because of a human problem like a move or a divorce, not because the animals did anything wrong. Many are already house-trained and used to living with families. We will help you find just the right pet with the right personality for your home.

Usually when you adopt a pet, the cost of spay/neuter, first vaccinations (and sometimes even microchipping!) is included in the adoption price, which can save you some of the up front costs of adding a new member to your family. Depending on the animal, you may also save on housebreaking and training expenses.

No one needs to see another selfie — unless it’s a selfie of you with the adorable pet you just adopted! Adopt a pet, post those pictures and let the well-earned likes roll in.

If you buy a pet from a pet store, online seller, or flea market, you’re almost certainly getting a pet from a mill.
Mills are factory-style breeding facilities that put profit above the welfare of the animals. Animals in mills are housed in shockingly poor conditions with improper medical care, and are often very sick and behaviorally troubled as a result. The moms are kept in cages to be bred over and over for years, without human companionship and with little hope of ever joining a family. And after they’re no longer profitable, breeding animals are simply discarded — either killed, abandoned or sold at auction.
These mills continue to stay in business through deceptive tactics — their customers are unsuspecting consumers who shop in pet stores, over the Internet or through classified ads. Puppy and kitten mills will continue to operate until people stop supporting them. By adopting a pet, you can be certain you aren’t giving them a dime.
