Humane Associations
In the event that you are looking to adopt or relinquish a pet, we provide a list of area shelters, humane associations and rescue groups. This list is in no way comprehensive, but it may help to guide your search. You may also choose to do a web search for other breed specific rescue groups, as our list may not be all-inclusive.
