Every day people see stray dogs on the streets, wandering neighborhoods, and going from door to door begging for food. Rarely will a pure-bred dog be put up for adoption except in unique situations. Don’t be discouraged if, when you first visit the shelter, there are no animals of the breed or type you want. Find useful information about pet animals and all that you need to know about pet adoption and care, in these articles on Animals and Pets.

Many of the dog shelters are non profit organisations funded by donations so they can care for homeless dogs. We are incredibly excited to team up with Aubuchon Hardware (832 Stevens Avenue, Portland) for a donation drive and puppy adoption event this Saturday, June 4th from 11am-2pm.

The Arizona dog adoption centers will gladly welcome those willing to take responsibility for one of these dogs and finding them a good home. I appreciate dogs and the unconditional love they have for people. Then, while caring for animals, staff and volunteers try to learn as much as they can about these animals as well as those who come to the shelter as strays.

Most dogs available for adoption have typically had a difficult start in life. You risk getting a puppy that has learned to bark loudly for attention – in a room of loudly barking dogs. We are so grateful for adopters like Thea and Lisa who open their hearts and homes to senior animals.

Not all adult dogs are turned over to the shelter because they are problem dogs. Purebred or Mixed Breed: You’ll find both in shelters and in rescue, though the mixed breeds far outnumber the pure breeds. Many previous owners have been as irresponsible in this area as others, and in the shelter, dogs have continued to do their “business” right in the pen.
