Pick Up Less Poop Many shelter animals are already house trained. You want a cuddle buddy, not a poop machine. Your knees and your floor will thank you.

Perfect Pets Most animals in shelters are happy, healthy, and trained. They simply don’t have homes due to divorces, people moving, and others who simply can’t handle the responsibility. Luckily, that doesn’t sound like you.

Pets with Personality You’re unique and have a personality, and so do adopted pets. Find your match, even if you’re a little crazy. (And we’re all a little crazy.) There are well-adjusted animals, too, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Pets are not for Profit If you buy a puppy from a pet store, you’re likely getting it from a factory-style mill. The mother is kept in a small cage and used to breed over and over and over, simply so the owner can make a profit.

Street Cred Every time you adopt, you make room in a shelter to save one more life. Also, you’ll have cred 'cause your pet is from the streets.

Feel Good About Yourself Hey, you should feel good about yourself anyway. Look at you, you’re money. But think about how great you’ll feel after you’ve saved the life of a furry four-legged friend.

So, You’re Not Ready To Commit
We get it. Not all of us are ready for that kind of responsibility. Luckily, there’s a way you can save some pets even if you’ve got a lot going on, but it’s best that you meet the following requirements.
Here’s a quick checklist:
- Got reliable transportation? Pets can’t get to their own vet appointments.
- Have a couple of free hours a day? Pets have a lot of love to give, so give some back.
- Can you commit to providing a home for the time needed? Sorry, we know how you feel about commitment, but we need some sort of reliability.
- Are you in good standing with kittens you’ve met in the past? Some organizations ask for references.
