They think you can only get an adult animal from the shelter

Have your heart set on a puppy or kitten? We have good news for you: You don’t have to shop at the pet store or find a breeder. In addition to adult pets, most animal shelters have an adorable array of young animals available for adoption.

Especially during the spring and summer, most shelters end up with lots of litters of puppies and kittens you could adopt.
