There are few experiences in life more satisfying and rewarding as saving a companion animal's life and making him/her a valued member of the family. Pets being the wonderful creatures that they are enhance our lives tremendously and give us much more than we provide for them.
There are many things to consider when adopting a pet. Once you have carefully considered all aspects of raising a companion animal, then you are ready to consider specific qualities and characteristics of the animal. Some things to consider when adopting a dog or cat include: size, temperament, sex, age and coat.
Don't overlook older animals as they often make the best pets. As well, don't overlook animals who appear quiet, scared or excited. Many animals in shelters are frightened and a little overwhelmed and may exhibit some minor behavioural problems due to their stressed state. The trick is to look not so much at what the dog is, but at what it will become under the guidance of a kind, knowledgeable owner.
Dogs and cats are available for purchase from the Greater Shepparton Animal Shelter. Our pets come fully vaccinated, desexed, vet-checked, registered and microchipped.
