Frequently asked questions
What is an animal sanctuary?
Sanctuaries give animals a permanent home instead of placing them for adoption. Many care for farm animals, horses, exotic animals or animals that cannot be rehomed.
How many animal sanctuaries are in Pennsylvania?

How does adopting work?
Start on the shelter's or rescue's own website: most post their adoptable animals there and on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet. Visit or call to meet an animal, then fill in an adoption application. Expect to show a photo ID, and if you rent, proof that your landlord allows pets. The adoption fee usually covers spay or neuter surgery, first vaccinations and a microchip. Fees vary by organization and by animal, so ask the shelter directly.
