Find a companion for life at one of Laurens County's shelters.
Choosing the perfect pet is very important. Your new cat or dog will become an instant part of the family. You have to know where to look in order to make this kind of decision. Laurens, South Carolina, offers many different options for pet adoptions. Your companion is waiting; it's time to go find him.
Instructions
1. Choose what type of pet you would like. Narrow down your breed choices. Research the species and the breed to make sure that you can provide the right environment for that type of animal.
2. Set an age range for your pet. Decide if you'd like a young pet -- a puppy or a kitten -- or maybe an older dog or cat that needs a new home.
3. Contact the Laurens County Humane Society about its current animals. On its website, you can view available animals. (See Resources.)
4. Look at the available pets online in the Laurens, South Carolina, area on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet.com. (See Resources.) You can search for specific breeds, shelters and breeders in the Laurens area.
5. Contact Laurens County rescue groups such as Animal Welfare of Laurens County or Happy Hearts, Inc. (See Resources.) These no-kill groups do not have shelters. The animals are placed in homes and are often brought to events at local stores like Petsmart for viewings.
6. Look in the local newspaper for animals for sale or free to a good home. Many pets in the upstate of South Carolina need a new home. Local breeders also advertise in the local paper.
