What You Can Do
Adopt a Homeless Pet!
Adopt a pet from a pet rescue group, humane society, SPCA, animal control or your local shelter. To ADOPT a pet, please see our Adopt a Pet section for links to many wonderful pet rescue organizations we support and also check out Adopt a Pet Additional Resources for more pet adoption web sites.
Be Educated and Practice Responsible Pet Ownership!
Learn about the issues surrounding pet ownership and the responsibilities that come with it. A pet is a long term commitment that must be taken seriously. You are responsible for a living being which must always be treated with kindness, respect, care and love.
Please read Adopting A Shelter Dog by Lorraine Houston for Animals' Voice to learn more about adopting an animal, doing your homework and responsible pet ownership.
"Adopting a dog is a life time commitment which requires an informed, well-educated and sensible decision. It's my bet that if more people made this type of decision before acquiring a dog there would be fewer homeless dogs all around!"
