I've seen that several of you work with non-profits that hold adoption clinics at Petsmart. Got a couple of questions.
We just lost our 2nd animal in 6 months. I'm thinking it was heart failure that took her. We can't find her right now and she was doing the "hiding thing" that Jasper was doing back in August before we had to put him down- we think it was cancer. Both animals were older.
I don't want an older animal. Yes- we took Jasper in when he was 11. But like I said- we've had to deal with losing 2 animals in 6 months AND we lost both of them when my oldest was away at college (the 3 hour ride home with her on Thursday isn't going to be a whole lot of fun b/c we're waiting to tell her until after she's finished finals.)
I know the family's going to want another animal. Poor Holly is wandering around the house looking lost. It's been quite a while since we've gone to a shelter to adopt. And I was thinking of doing that again until I remembered the adoption clinics I've seen at Petsmart.
How do they generally work? If you want to adopt that day- can you, or do we have to fill out an application and wait? It's something I'd like to include the dtr who is away at college- I feel so bad that she wasn't here to say good-bye to either one we lost. I know they have older animals- but they take in kittens too right? I think Holly would do better with a cat younger than her anyways.
Thanks for your input!
