Adopt a Pet

ive never adopted a dog off the site not allowed to own one till i get my own place

they have a huge selection of pets for adoption which gives great opportunities but its sad because im shure that a lot ofthose animals will be disregarded

WOOO!!!
I found a beautiful fawn female rat and her sister at a rescue here, and we're going tomorrow to check them out and hopefully get to bring them home! :D:D:D

Don't forget your local herp society everyone!

I got one of my burms from MHS and would do it again in a heartbeat if I had the room.

OK You have persuaded me. I registered with Petfinder. I have contributed $$ for years to animal shelters for years and did a short stint as a volunteer at one. I had always been involved with dogs. I have placed many stray dogs over the years with family and friends. Maybe I will adopt a snake from the one place that I see with reptiles in Michigan.

Too bad there is no RTBs localy for addoption.

My friend worked with a local rescue called Paws of Gold (not sure if she still does.) They posted on Petfinder. They'd help out dogs in parts of the country that needed homes; and, they would drive them to/from pickup points if the new owners or fosterers could not make it all the way, and needed help. My friend also fostered countless dogs and cats. At one point, her barn looked like some sort of dog kennel! She has had to cut back b/c of family, work, etc. but still helps. I greatly admire her for it.

Thanks for the link. We were thinking of getting a friend for our young ferret in the future and had no idea there was a ferret rescue in the area.

Rescuing is a great thing. I want to get a Doberman eventually, and plan on looking into rescues. But I know that they are prone to hip problems. Maybe buying from a breeder would be better, so that the animal's lineage would be known? Not sure yet..
I got my cat as an 8-year old that no one wanted to adopt, from the SPCA. People were grabbing kittens by the handful but poor Inky was ignored. Now, at 13 years of age, he is my little shadow and I love this cat!

I'll admit, I'm one of those people that look at all the kittens and not the older cats. BUT, I have talked with my fiance and we have decided that once we have a house and the space, we are going to adopt adult cats that no one wants and give them a nice home.
