You can find all sorts of animals in the Humane Society.
Dogs and cats are the most common, of course, but you can also adopt rabbits, birds, small mammals, and possibly reptiles. It all depends on where you live and what shelter you are going to, but if you are thinking about adopting an animal the Humane Society is a great place to go. If you don't find any animal that you would like to adopt at the Humane Society, see if you have a local FAIR (Foundation for Animals In Risk) nearby. They are a great no-kill (unlike the Humane Society) group and will surely help you find a companion animal.
Petfinder.com lists all types of animals available at private breed rescues and at larger shelters. Just looking at their search options gives you an idea of the many types of animals available for adoption.
Mostly cats and dogs, but also rabbits, hamsters, birds, rats, and lizards.
A pound is a place where animals live when they do not have a home, they stay in the pound while they wait for someone to adopt them. The kinds of animals that live in a pound include dogs, cats, bunnies, pigs, guinea pigs, and hamsters.
Very few places provide free vaccinations, but many Animal Shelters (or local Humane Societies) offer low-cost spay or neuter services and vaccinations. If you are unable to pay for vaccinations, please consider very carefully whether keeping the kitty is in its best interest, as animals require regular (at least annual, sometimes more frequently) veterinary care, which is difficult to find for free.
Best to phone the local Humane Society or Animal control office (ASPCA) Even if the pet is not there , they will have a report and can find you if they find it.
Move and find food in different ways.
My friend has recently found a stray cat. What would be the best way to locate animal shelters near her or me?
The Humane Society. They have lots of animals and you can find a wide selection of animals
At your local animal shelters, like AC&C (Animal Care and Control), the ASPCA (or RSPCA), or the Humane Society.
Usually it's because there is too much animals in that certain shelter. Other times it's just because that's the way they think it should go.
Check the local humane society or animal shelters. Or go to a reputable dealer. Do not use backyard breeders that may have unhealthy dogs.
Most retail pet stores will not offer free adoptions, however they do sometimes partner with organizations like the Humane Society, or other local shelters to find homes for animals. It would be helpful to check with local pet stores, such as Petco or Petexpress, but also check with the City of Boston, and local chapters of animals shelters, such as the SPCA.
Humane society are no kill while a dog pound will kill the animal Actually that is wrong, Humane Society's do kill, you would have to check with the individual Humane Society to find out whether they kill or not. Not all pounds/shelters kill either, many are working towards a no kill approach, which is good as long as animals are not left waiting for years in a kennel. Most shelters/pounds work with rescue groups to get the animals out but some do not and will not. That is when you start getting into the political game that some heads of Animal Control play, they don't want to be questioned or challenged on their practices of killing, so they ban rescues.
There are sadly tons and tons of shelters that humanely euthanize (Usually it is an injection into a vein) animals after a certain length of stay. There are so many animals that are going into shelters than there are being adopted. However there are also no kill shelters that will keep an animal as long as it takes to find it a home. If you have to bring an animal to a shelter please find out if it is a no kill shelter if it is find somewhere else that isn't.
animals are often euthanized when they are unable to find a home or when they have major health conditions
Find them a home. Shelters kill animals that don't get adopted.
