Why Adopt?

• Giving a pup a second chance at life
• You will be able to find your perfect match between the local shelter and a rescue
• Plenty of dog options including different breeds, sizes and ages
• Most are already spayed/neutered, up-to-date on their shots and micro chipped
• Trainers have worked with basic commands and are house trained when coming from foster homes
• Your new companion will be sure to thank you

Adopting from a Shelter:

• A large variety of all dogs breeds
• Quick adoption process
• Inexpensive and includes microchip, vaccines and spay/neuter
• The more adoptions at a shelter, the more room for more pups who are looking for a second chance

Adopting from a Rescue:

• More specific breed options with some rescues focusing on one type of breed
• The pups are most likely coming from foster homes, in turn comes training and learning the personality of the dog
• exposure to socialization
• Adoption process involves a house visit to your home to make sure it is a good fit for the adoptable dog
