Newman Nation: Senior Pets United's adoption process
Additional adoption info
You can email us at seniorpetsunited@gmail.com with any questions about our adoption process or inquiries about any of our animals. Most of our animals have a $100-$150 adoption fee and we do require a contract to be signed at the time of adoption. You can find our adoption application on our website, seniorpetsunited.org. We ask that you list your veterinarian as a reference on your application, and we would appreciate you giving them a call when you submit your application to give them permission to share information about your pets over the phone with a representative of Newman Nation.

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.
