When adopting a pet, it is important to consider the commitment involved in caring for the pet for its entire life, which can be up to 20 years. It is also important to consider the time and space you have available, as well as the financial commitment required for food, veterinary care, and supplies.

Before bringing a new pet home, it is important to have all necessary supplies ready, such as food, bowls, leash or harness, collar, brush, toys, scratching posts, bed, crates, and litter box. It is also important to keep potentially harmful household items out of reach and to have separate areas for new and existing pets.

If the adoption is not a good match for the new owner or the pet, the pet can be returned to the shelter. It is important to call the shelter first to make arrangements for the return.

The adoption fee can be paid in cash, debit, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. This makes it convenient for potential adopters to pay for the fee using their preferred method of payment.
