Enrichment!

Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, Adopt a dog Jupiter, adopt a cat Jupiter
The needs of our animals go beyond the physical. Sure, we're proud that we offer all of our dogs and cats medical exams, provide vaccinations, treat any problems, and perform spay and neuter surgeries.

But we're also aware that we need to attend to our animal's psychological needs. In addition to mental stimulation, we make sure that our dogs and cats are able to overcome any fear or less than charming behavior they may have developed.

Our volunteers play a key role in this process. Walking a dog or playing with a cat are just a few tasks that can make a huge difference in an animal's life. Their help is especially important during this time of year when so many animals enter our shelter.

So if you're looking for your new best friend, know that he or she has been cared for very well. Adopting a dog, cat, puppy, or kitten means a lot as, ultimately, a shelter is a poor substitute for a loving home. Adoption matters. And along the way, you might experience some enrichment of your own.
