About 6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year.
Of those, approximately 3 million are dogs and 3 million are cats.
Please reconsider purchasing your pets from a retail store or breeder.
Many shelters provide a full health screen that includes vaccinations, parasite treatment,
and spay/neuter surgery, all covered in the adoption fee.
If services are not provided, a free veterinary visit often is included in the adoption fee.
Organizations like animal shelters, humane societies, and rescue leagues will
house and care for owner-surrendered, abandoned, stray and injured animals.
Many organizations also rehabilitate abused animals to help them recover and find a loving home.
