Whether you adopt a pet through the humane society or if you already have one, it's important to be a responsible pet parent. It's our mission to educate the public on proper pet ownership. Our shelter has many dogs for adoption, as well as a cat adoption program, and we want owners to be ready for their new pet.

It's important to spay or neuter your pet as soon it's medically advised to avoid unwanted litters of puppies or kittens. Many of these unexpected litters end up in shelters every year. Also, when you adopt a pet, make sure to have them microchipped in case they ever get loose. This greatly increases the chance of recovering your pet.
