Pets In Need

An animal adoption agency and lost-and-found service for dogs and cats.

Description:

Pets In Need dogs and cats come from public facilities where they have run out of time and would have been put to death if Pets In Need had not rescued them. These cats and dogs are brought to Pets In Need where a week is spent getting to know them and screening for disease and illness. During this time, if an animal shows signs of illness they are separated from healthy ones and treatment is begun. In many shelters any hint of illness, no matter how easily it might be treated, is a death sentence. At Pets In Need, those animals get the care, attention and time they need for a new chance at life. All dogs and cats are spayed or neutered and made available for adoption.
