Animal
shelters are your best source when looking for a companion animal. And
for the record, 30 percent of most dogs at shelters are are
purebreds. You can find a loving companion animal no matter the size,
age or breed at any shelter or humane society. Rescue groups also have
dogs and cats that they have saved from being euthanized at the
shelter. Shelters receive new animals every day. Rescue groups take in
animals as they can afford and make room for them.
Your local shelter may also have a waiting list and can call you when an
animal matching your preference becomes available. To locate your local
animal shelter, check the Yellow Pages under "animal shelter," "animal
control," or "humane society." Search on the websites below where you
can insert your zip code and find just the right animal and shelter
nearest you.
