We have Dogs, Puppies, Cats and Kittens for Adoption.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A PET OWNER
HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR CARING FOR YOUR NEW PET

•  Your pet is a member of the family and wants to spend time with the family. Please consider your pet's comfort and safety at all times.

•  It's best to have your pet indoors with you. Many dogs develop behavioral problems from being left alone outside and from having little socialization with humans. There are also several health benefits to keeping your dog indoors.

•  Exercise your dog. Lack of exercise is the leading cause of behavior problems.

•  It is critical for your pet to receive annual vaccinations against common contagious diseases like distemper and parvo. These life-threatening illnesses can easily be prevented by an annual vaccine. While these diseases cannot be transmitted to humans, they are highly contagious among pets.

•  Never keep your dog on chain. Many dogs develop severe behavioral problems from being chained.
