People think cats and dogs are the only animals available at the animal shelter
Many Americans want a dog or a cat. But those who’d prefer a rabbit, a bird, a snake, or any other less common pet automatically write off the animal shelter. Not so fast! Many animal shelters host animals of all kinds, not just of the canine and feline variety. If you want a specific kind of pet, it never hurts to ask! The shelter may either have the pet you’re looking for. Or, the staff may know of another shelter where you could find the pet of your dreams.
