You won't regret adopting from a local animal shelter

We are a family that has adopted three dogs from various shelters in our area. We have made a commitment to help animals in need, but more often it turns out the animals are the ones who help the humans. Our oldest dog, Delilah, was adopted from the New Haven Animal Shelter in 2002. Little did we know what an integral part she would play in the daily life of our special needs daughter. Delilah was even featured in a book and on a television program highlighting her help and work with our daughter.
Please adopt from your local animal shelter. If we are willing to give humans a second chance, why not do the same for dogs and cats. With time and love you will have a wonderful family member that completes your home.

Absolutely!!! Kudos to you! We have 7 rescues at this time (had many more in the past), and would do nothing else. They reward you with a lifetime of special love. We promote rescue always - donate at local shelters; food, treats, cleaning products, bedding, collars, leashes, litter, monetary, etc., and "opt to adopt!".
