Adopt

According to Best Friends in Kanab, UT, there are 2 million dogs and cats euthanized each year in the U.S. but there are 17 million families looking for a new pet!   This means animal shelters across the U.S. would be  empty  if 1 out of 8 families would adopt their next pet from a rescue group, humane society or shelter. 

When you are ready to get a new pet, start here:

First – visit the rescue groups, shelters and/or humane societies in your community.  Most of these groups have a website with pictures and bios of the dogs and cats at their facility.  If these groups are close to you, take a ride over and walk through to personally see the pets available for adoption. You will not be disappointed!  If possible, please give preference to adopting from open-admission shelters as they have to euthanize when space is needed. You will truly be saving their life.
