Pet adoption - the facts

 

NEW! NEW! NEW!: The SPCA of Franklin County is now doing Courtesy Listings of pets that need to be Re-Homed. If you need to have us list your pet on our website please contact us for more information.

 

To see our current listings go here

 

Please also go to our Re-Homing Your Pet page for additional tips on how to get your pet into the public eye and how to get that perfect new home!

Adopting a pet into your home is a life changing event whether it's for the first time or the tenth. Each animal is different and will have different needs. Before you make the trip to the shelter or rescue you need to look at what it takes to have a pet as part of your family. Below are some articles about just those things.

If you don't find what you're looking for with us you can also contact these Franklin County agencies:

Franklin County Animal Control Shelter

Heaven and Earth Animal Rescue Team

Hav-A-Hart

Franklin County Humane Society

Wags to Riches

Tarheel Weimaraner Rescue

Pets Are Not Just For Holidays

  Pets are a lifetime commitment, not just for the month that they are received. Getting a pet or adding an additional one to your household is a highly personal decision; one not to be taken lightly nor on a last minute shopping frenzy just because those puppies in front of the supermarket were so cute. Just as you wouldn't let someone pick a "best" friend or spouse for you, be respectful and NOT pick a family pet for someone without the input of all the family members involved.

Try these ideas instead:

Wrap a toy or pet item as the gift

Give a book on pets instead, preferably on choosing a pet

If the gift is meant for a child give a plush stuffed toy
