To help control the pet population, we require that all animals adopted from PET Projects be spayed or neutered prior to having a litter, and attempt to alter as many as we can before they leave our care. If the animal you wish to adopt is not already spayed or neutered, it will be your responsibility to see that it is done as soon as possible. Do you agree to these conditions?

Some pets adjust much easier than others to new environments and people, while some may require several weeks or more to feel at home.
