ACPS recommends the following when adopting a pet:
- Be mindful of the environment: If you are already a pet owner, take the time to slowly introduce a new animal. This gradual introduction can help potential adopters observe a pet's behaviors while keeping introductions positive. No need to rush when starting a new lifelong friendship.
- Activity matters: Some animals require more exercise and activity than others. Take the time to learn about the animal you are adopting to see if your activity levels are a match.
- Does it make dollars and sense?: ACPS offers free- or low-cost adoptions, but don't forget the long-term care of a pet is an expense. Ask us about affordable veterinary care and how to plan for unexpected costs
- Take it slowly and be patient: Like humans, pets have unique personalities and their own personal history. It may take time to for your adopted pet to get comfortable in a new environment, get used to new people or to warm up to other pets. Be patient, show lots of love and help your new pet adjust.
