Keep for a lifetime

Thinking of adding a new family member over the Christmas holidays? Shop the shelter! Remember that a pet is more than a present, it's a lifetime commitment. There are plenty of purebreds and mixed breeds for adoption at your local shelter. If you're looking for a specific breed, go online and search 'breed rescue.' If you wait until after Christmas to adopt, put a stuffed animal (with a gift certificate) under the tree for the kids. 


Rescue groups are looking for good adopters, so be sure to visit them too! Shop your local Petco and PetSmart stores.
