WHY ADOPT Thousands of pets are put to sleep every day. Some of these pets are purebreds; many are mixtures of various breeds. All of these pets deserve a second chance with an individual or family in need of a loving companion. Adopting such an animal is not only a good, cost-effective way to bring a new friend into your home, it may very well save the life of an innocent creature whose greatest desire is to find a home and family of its own.
