Additional adoption info
We are often told that our pets have no problem adapting to their new homes, and are very loving and friendly. We believe two factors are important in helping our animals become loving family pets. The first is our home-like atmosphere. The shelter was formerly a family home, and we use no cages or kennels. Our residents are either housed in their own room or have free run of the house, depending on their health and/or temperament. The second factor is the hands-on approach to caring for them. Our animals are held regularly, cuddled and treated with love and respect. We have dedicated volunteers who spend time each week giving special care to the shelter and our guests.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
