All owners MUST make an appointment to surrender a pet. Please fill out the pet personality profile, and when complete, it will assist with setting an appointment.
Adoptable animals are generally held and placed with a new family; animals that are too sick, old, or unsociable to be adopted are euthanized. Once a shelter gains title to the animal, it can do with the animal as it sees fit, and its decision will be upheld by courts as long as the shelter complied with state law.
Shelter Animals May Not Be Ideal for FIrst-Time Pet Owners
First-time pet owners may not want to adopt a dog or cat from a shelter because their health and behavioral histories may be unknown. Some shelter animals may have problems that first-time owners may have difficulty dealing with.
Disadvantages. The only true disadvantages to adopting an animal are minor. Homeless animals may have trust or behavior issues that bought animals don't have. You also won't likely be able to get a purebred animal if that's important to you.
When you adopt a pet from a shelter, you'll give that pet a second chance at life – and protect them from possible euthanization. Millions of cats and dogs are euthanized annually in the United States because there is not enough room in shelters for all of them.
Being at the shelter means that at least the dog isn't loose or living in an unfit environment. That said, for many pups, a shelter can be a stressful environment that could cause their behaviors to change. For instance, kennel reactivity in shelter dogs is not uncommon.
Puppies can also suffer from fear, anxiety and other lasting behavioral problems. Sometimes these issues don't show up until people bring the puppy home, only to be confronted with unpredictable, expensive and oftentimes chronic medical issues.
