At Lonely Pets Club, we support “Adoption Is The First Option”. There are thousands of pets around the country in pounds, d shelters and with foster carers needing new homes, so if you are looking for a new furry friend to join your family, we highly recommend you consider adopting a pet who is desperately needing a forever home.
However, adopting a companion animal is not a decision that should be taken lightly. Anyone considering adopting a companion animal should seriously consider the lifelong commitment involved. Dogs may live 12-15 years and cats 15-18 years or more. If you are prepared to give your pet love, shelter, companionship, exercise, medical care for its entire life, then please consider looking at the websites below.
Below are some rescue groups, directories and shelters you can view, call or visit.
