Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable-Pet Week

Did you know that 99% of our shelters and rescue groups currently have adoptable pets that have been at the shelters a long time and are having a harder time getting adopted?

In fact, according to our survey, these "less-adoptable" pets wait for a home nearly four times longer than the average adoptable pet does ... sometimes more than two years!

If you are interested in adopting a "Less-Adoptable-Pet contact your local SPCA.

You can also contact SPCA Eastern Shore at:

Meet "Turtle". He's a happy little guy- now. He didn't have it so easy a while back and he's just looking for someone special. Here's what "Turtle" has to say about himself and his life........
My name is Turtle and I am a 2.5 year old terrier neutered male. I am a special boy who will need a special home. I am a sweet little boy who loves squeaky toys and I enjoy being with other gentle dogs. I am shy with new people and take a little time to warm up to them. I have not had much contact from people-I spent my entire life in a small pen with my 2 siblings and they beat me up a lot.

The pen we lived in was never cleaned at all. When the nice Animal Control lady came to get us that day, we were ankle deep in stuff I'd rather not name.The people just threw food in to the pen and the strong dogs got most of it (I was not the strong dog). I have never growled, grumbled or bared my teeth at the people who take care of me now.

They walk me on a leash and I walk just fine, and sometimes I get toted outside for potty or recess. There's even one person here whom I can boss around. I have been neutered and am current on my shots and wormings. I am on heartworm prevention. I am a small boy weighing only 18 lbs.

I am better suited to a family with no small children because of my timidness; this means I can't be adopted into a home with children, unless they are in their late teens. I know it will be a very special person who takes me into their life and home. It may take some time for them to find me, but hey, it's not so bad here. The climate is controlled, I have my own kennel with a bed in it, 2 meals a day, 3 outside breaks daily with my doggie friends and people who come sit with me and cuddle. Oh yeah, and plenty of squeaky toys and treats. I could do without the baths, but it's a small price to pay over the life I had before.

Maybe I will see some of you this week. I sure hope so!

JUNE Is Adopt A Cat Month

Each spring during “kitten season,” thousands of newborn kittens join the millions of cats already in shelters across the country. That means your local shelter has tons of cute, cuddly newborns, in addition to all the mellow, older cats and everything in between. And the shelter staff are ready to help you adopt your very first cat — or to bring home a friend for another beloved cat!

CHECKLIST FOR ADOPTING A CAT

If you're thinking about adopting a cat, consider taking home two.

Find a cat whose personality compliments yours.

Pick out a veterinarian ahead of time and schedule a visit within the first few days following the adoption.

Make sure everyone in the house is prepared to have a cat before it comes home.

Budget for the short- and long-term costs of a cat.

Stock up on supplies before the cat arrives.

Cat-proof your home.

Go slowly when introducing your cat to new friends and family.

Be sure to include your new pet in your family’s emergency plan.

If you’re considering giving a cat as a gift, make sure the recipient is an active participant in the adoption process.
