Giving up a pet

One thing you want consider before giving your animal to a shelter:

Will this shelter euthanize your pet if it does not get adopted?
Will the shelter be able to find your pet a good home?
Are there dogs or other animals at this shelter that make a lot of noise?

Shelters are very loud and can very stressing for a pet.
Shelters are also very busy and have many other animals to take care of and feed.
Here at Precious Critters your animal will get lots of attention and love. Precious Critters is a no-kill rescue group, with fosters who are able to spend time working with the animals, and we screen adopters to insure the will be taken care properly.
We also keep in contact with our adopters to see how the animal(s) is doing.

Why do people surrender?
Most of our animals come to us due to the following four most popular reasons:

• It was a child who cared for the pet but lost interest in it or no longer wanted to care for it

• Family was moving

• Someone in household was allergic

• Family bought but didn't know how to care for the animal

Animals we take in:
Birds--canaries, parakeets, finches, lovebirds and cockatiels.
Reptiles--Leopard Geckos
Small Animals-- guinea pigs, hedgehogs, degus, ground/flying squirrels, chinchillas, gerbils and hamsters.
