Answer: Our adoption program has been so successful, that we suggest you come in personally and view the animals available for adoption. Although we can give you some information on what is available on the telephone, it is very likely that the animal that sounds like the pet you want will be gone when you come in. Some animals are adopted within MINUTES of being put in the adoption area! |
