Animal Rescue
Petfinder.com is a wonderful online resource to use to begin your search for a new animal companion. They list cats, dogs, rabbits, other small furries, as well as reptiles, birds & barnyard animals! It’s just a fun place to go and browse too. Input your criteria on the left side of the page under “Search for a Pet”, then enter your location and voila! Up comes a list – with photos – of all the adoptable animals that match your criteria along with the rescue they are sheltered with and their location. Each shelter or rescue will have its own criteria for adopters to meet but many times you can get the initial paperwork online and begin the process right away! Stop on by and see the many animals available & in need of homes not so very far away from you! It’s a great place to find shelters to volunteer at also. So go ahead and check them out!
