Adopting a pet:

creating a lasting friendship.

If you are considering adopting a pet other than a dog or cat, think about what role you want a companion to take in your life. Are you looking for a pet to cuddle and show affection, or do you want an independent sidekick that keeps its own schedule? No matter what animal you decide to adopt, be certain you are ready to handle all the responsibilities that come with it. And remember, we are always receiving new animals into the humane association; so be sure to check back often for your next pet.
