Walking With Your Dog

If your dog is on a leash, it can't get away and cause problems. Consider using a pinch collar while walking your dog, if he is a puller, to increase your control and comfort. Some walkers use a harness, and others find retractable leashes to be the best way to give the dog a little more slack, then reel them in as needed.

Carry a Pooper Scooper

If you don't have (or want to purchase) the actual tool, try a plastic bag. Many carry the plastic bags that newspapers sometimes come in. When the bag is placed over the hand, you can pick up what you have to, turn the bag inside out, and tie the end closed. Dispose of it properly. Zip-closure storage bags are another secure option.

About Us

This web site was created in an effort to place homeless animals throughout the United States.

These animals are often located in one of thousands of animal shelters and rescue’s throughout the Country which offer a temporary placement while a loving family is found.

We provide a database of animals which will allow you to search for your next pet based on animal type, breed, size, gender and location. You can also search through our growing directory which now includes, animal shelters, lost, found or adoptable pets, pet meds, dog parks, and hundreds of frequently asked questions.

If you would like to make a gift or support our cause please purchase a ribbon from our animal shelter support page. Remember adopting a pet is saving a life.

Jack, a 6-week-old Great Pyrenees mix

will be available for adoption this Saturday at the Puppy Adoption Extravaganza. "Jack's" siblings, Diane, Bonnie and Clyde will be there too!

Adoption Process

The adoption process begins before you visit the shelter. To ensure emotion doesn't override reason, you'll want to make some decisions before walking through those shelter doors.

Keep in mind that you don't have to adopt an animal on your very first visit to the shelter. You are going to be living with this animal for several years, so take your time finding the right one.

This may take many visits!

Begin the process by examining your living space, lifestyle and budget. If your schedule keeps you close to home during the day, you may decide you have the time and energy for a dog. If you're not home as much, perhaps a cat would be the best companion for you.

Next, discuss the needs, concerns, fears and medical conditions (like allergies!) of everyone in the family. Decide how much time you can spend with the animal and the amount of responsibility each person will have.

Remember to be realistic. Promises made by children are likely to fade after the initial excitement of having a pet wears off. Adults in the family should expect to provide most of the animal's care.

Once everyone is prepared and you know what you're looking for, it's time to head to the shelter.
