maybe backrounded with a picture of an animal, or if you cant, use green or blue.
Most shelters such as the SPCA or any dog shelter in Houston will take a Pit Bull and will kill the dog right away. The only shelter that accepts pitbulls and keeps them alive is Spindletop Pitbull Refuge: http://www.spindletoppitbullrefuge.org/
You can volunteer at a pet shelter at the age of 12 or 13. But at that age the only things you can do are: feeding, watering, combing and brushing. If not, they may not let children volunteer at Shelters because the fear of animals being aggressive and having the children be hurt by the animals. Just look into it and see. :)
My friend has recently found a stray cat. What would be the best way to locate animal shelters near her or me?
No one can really say what the best animal in the world is, it is an opinion question, not a strait forward one. But if I had to give my opinion i would say a Cheetah
In Oregon, the minimum age requirement to volunteer at animal shelters varies depending on the organization's policies. Some shelters may allow 11-year-olds to volunteer with adult supervision, while others may have a minimum age requirement of 16 or 18. It is best to contact the specific animal shelter you are interested in volunteering at to inquire about their age requirements and opportunities for younger volunteers.
Your best bet would be to contact the animal shelter, and see if they have records on the dog. Some animal shelters Microchip their animals, which would be another way of identifying the dog, and the shelter it came from.
Call the animal shelter and ask place with best price.
at the animal shelter or a pet shop
The best way to find an animal shelter is to look it up either online or in the phone book. To volunteer just go to the shelter you would like to spend time at and talk to the staff members they will guide you in the right direction to becoming a much needed voluneteer.
The best place to adopt a homeless or stray pet is at a nearby animal shelter. Animal shelters contain a variety of pets that you can shelter under your roof.
The best way is to not take it to a homeless shelter. If it is a large animal eg: dog, cat etc then the best place would be to go to a RSPCA shelter and tell them the reason for handing it in eg: there is no room in my house, I cant handle it.....if it is a smaller animal eg: rabbit, guinea pig then pets at home take them in and so do other people so you could put a letter/poster in a pet shop window or in an animal feed shop (the one near me has a notice board full of them) Good luck

an animal shelter is the best place or craig's list
The best place to find a cheap pet would be your local animal shelter or pet store. Or the classified section of your local paper would both be great places to start.
Best thing to do is check with your local shelter and ask them what is allowed for the pets.
To find free puppies and other animals, your local animal shelter would be a good place to check at. There are also private animal adoption businesses. Another good source would be in the newspaper classified advertisements.
