*All Pet Friendly shelters are first come, first served.
NOTE: Know the locations and how to get there quickly before an emergency develops.
ALSO - Many shelters who refer to themselves as "No-Kill" actually mean that they don't euthanize (kill) any animal that is healthy and adoptable. If the animal is sick, injured or considered un-adoptable - they send the animal to another facility to be euthanized (killed). Make sure you ask the shelter what their policy really is concerning "No-Kill."
NOTE - Many "No-Kill" shelters have a quota and may not have space available at the time you call. Ask them if they can wait-list you for your pet's admission. It's important that you plan ahead in order to avoid having to place your pet in a shelter that euthanizes (kills) un-adoptable animals.

If the animal is sick, injured or considered un-adoptable - they send the animal to another facility to be euthanized (killed). Make sure you ask the shelter what their policy really is concerning "No-Kill."
