Where can I find those cute furballs from your ads?!
One of the most common questions we get is: Can I adopt a puppy/kitten from you? The short answer is no. We're just a vet clinic, so we have to give all of the adorable little fluffs back at the end of the day. People would get mad at us if we started giving their pets away to strangers. However, we do work with several fantastic rescues. The following is a list of links to their adoption sites. Typically our social media posts will focus on dogs and cats available for adoption from one of these.
