Adopting is one of the best things you can do.

At The Animal Shelter Society, Inc. we firmly believe in the statement #AdoptDontShop. By adopting you’re not just giving a homeless animal a chance at a better life, you’ll be amazed at how much better your life becomes by the love your new pet gives you.
