Adoption fees on Petfinder?

Kiss Kiss asked:


Most of the pets (dogs) on petfinder don’t have the adoption fees listed when you look at the pet’s details. Okay, so they’re loving a need a home, that’s great, but whats their adoption fee?

Thanks!!

Can you explain the adoption process?

I’m going to adopt a dog from a county shelter for the first time.Im going to go look at her tomorrow.She’s a puppy.I also have 2 other dogs.Will it make a difference or can i get her use to them btw both of them are good with other dogs.Here’s the process for the shelter(explain it in more detail):
1. Complete an Adoption Application
2. Meet with an Adoption Counselor to determine if the pet is a good fit for your home
3. Read New Pet Ownership Guide and Sign Disclaimer Agreement
4. Process the Adoption Fee payment
5. Register for Pet Retention Training

Got 2 puppies, can I introduce a kitty w/o problems?

horselady asked:


I just recently got 2 2-month old puppies (had them for 5 days). I just heard about a little kitty that’s available for adoption at my local shelter, heard it’s very friendly and would make great pet. If nobody will adopt it until Thursday they will put it to sleep. I really would love to have this kitty. Could there be potential problems with that and the puppies? How would it be best to introduce them?

Why Do Shelters Find It So Difficult To Update Petfinder?

Patient Paws asked:


Wouldn’t you think that with todays technological advances, and how many people look online before going out for a pet, that shelters would update more frequently?

I understand its a bit time consuming, but the shelter I volunteer at has the number one adoption rate and the lowest ‘kill rate’ in the NKY area, don’t you think that says something about the use of the internet?

How can I introduce another cat into my home?

Gizzy asked:


I have a 4 year old male himalyan. I adopted him about 3 years ago from a shelter. On his adoption paperwork it states he is good with other animals, but for the past three years it has been only him. Now I want to adopt another cat, but I am not sure how accepting my curret pet will be. Any suggestions on how to introduce another into my home? Oh and my current cat was declawed in the front when I got him, so I am a little worried about fighting.
