So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life. Shelters remain the #4 way people obtain their pets.ĭog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adoption Promotions are a fun way to engage the public and bring in potential adopters. JHS does reduce or waive adoption fees for a variety of reasons: Too many cats or kittens in the building, older and special needs pets that have a harder time finding homes, etc. Meet Sippy 122761, a Domestic Short Hair Mix Cat for adoption, at Joplin Humane Society in Joplin, MO on Petfinder. We reserve the right not to place a pet in a home based on the information we have or if we feel the pet is not a match for the person's lifestyle. We will not adopt to anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol. We will not adopt a pet to anyone under the age of 18 This includes the animals spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations including rabies, de-worming and micro-chip. Most of our pets can go home the same day. After the above is completed, we can put a hold on a pet for 24 hours if you need time to think about the decision or to prepare your home.
Finish the process by having a conversation with our adoption staff. After the meeting, go over what information we have on file about the pet and his/her past experience. If you see a pet that you like, ask staff to meet the pet (if the pet is available to be taken out) Come in with your family and look around.
We recognize that no one is perfect and try to match a person's pet expectations so fewer pets are returned. We believe in an open, non-judgmental adoption process.
