Pet Adoption

Are you interested in adopting a pet?
The internet is a great place to start.

Many shelters have websites on which they display the animals they have available for adoption. Some sites allow you to download adoption forms and read about responsible pet care. A growing number of shelters also promote their web sites, and the animals they have for adoption, on sites such as Pets 911, Petfinder, and 1-800-Save-A-Pet.com.

Purebred pet rescue sites are also an option . Check your local search engine for a start.
To locate a rescue group that specializes in the breed of dog or cat that interests you, contact your local animal shelter, check the classifieds section of the newspaper, or search the Internet.

The HSUS at 202-452-1100 (ask for the Companion Animals section), will be happy to help you find out if there is a breed-rescue group near you.
