When should I consider getting another pet?

Every individual is different, and every animal is surrendered for a different reason. MVHS staff and volunteers would be happy to discuss with you the possibility of adopting another pet. Please be aware that all animals need a great amount of time, patience and love to be a happy addition to your household. MVHS has handouts and classes about finding the pet that is right for you, as well as avoiding or eliminating the issues that led you to surrender your last pet. We strongly encourage you to attend one of our free Pet Parent Classes before bringing home a new pet.
