Animals for Adoption

Adopting an animal can be very rewarding and there are many things to consider when deciding if an animal is suitable for you, including

• The exercise needs of certain breed of dogs
• How often you are home and how often you will leave the animal alone
• Other animals and children in your home
• Costs related to veterinary care
