exclude surrounding counties. If you're sure you want a certain breed of
dog or cat, there are lots of shelters to find your special pet to adopt.

Newspaper ad - There are always free dogs and cats that people want to give away. There are also pure bred animals for sale in your local paper. Pick up your local and county paper and you will be sure to find some pets for free or for sale.Step 4
Friend or relative - If you adopt a pet from someone you know personally, it will make you feel better about knowing the history of your pet. It's always nice to not wonder what your pets history is.

Pet shop-Pet stores are ok but it all depends on what pet store. Pet stores sometimes tend to care only about the profit. This can lead to poor animal caring and therefore, the animals suffer. These animals will not be very healthy.Step 6
Pet Fairs- These have become very popular. They are actually local animal shelters who bring animals to places like Petsmart and they try to get them adopted. You can usually call your local pet supply store for dates and times that they have adoption days.This type of thing is also done at county fairs as well.
