Pets for Adoption  https://www.sterlingshelter.org/pet-finder How to Adopt a Pet from our Shelter https://www.sterlingshelter.org/pet-finder/pet-adoption Why Adopt from Our Shelter https://www.sterlingshelter.org/pet-finder/adopting-a-pet-why-us What Does Your Adoption Fee Cover https://www.sterlingshelter.org/pet-finder/animal-rescue-fee What do I need to Adopt? The entire family! It’s hard to pick a family pet when the whole family isn’t there. Some pets react differently to children, to men, to women, to older people than they do anyone else. Some animals (even puppies/kittens) gravitate to children or men or women…others may shy away! What would happen if you brought a pet home and the pet hid under the kitchen table and growled at your kids and hissed at your husband? Its not fair to bring that pet back…but if you had your whole family here…we could see that WHEN YOU WERE HERE and realize that’s not the appropriate home for the pet. Please understand this is a big decision and the whole family should be allowed to make this decision together. (This is the reason our shelter doesn’t allow gift adoptions) Families with children MUST have ALL children present for a meet and greet . This is for YOUR safety as well as the safety of OUR PETS! Have another dog/s? Great! We strongly recommend and advise you bring him/her too! Let your resident dog pick his/her new best friend. That way you are guaranteed a success! We have a large, enclosed meet and greet area where your canine can frolick with a potential new friend.
