Option I: Web Sites and Flyers

 

PRM has many avenues available to advertise that your pet is available for adoption. We will post your animal's picture and information to our web site. The information would also be shown at PetsMart where we hold adoptions days on Saturday.

 

If anyone is interested in your dog or cat, they can fill out our adoption application and we will screen the adopters for you. We will then pass the information on qualified adopters to you. Pet Rescue of Mercer will charge the adopters an adoption fee, which we will keep.

 

 

Option II: PetsMart Adoption Days

 

Each Saturday, PRM is at PetsMart from 11am to 3pm showing shelter dogs and cats available for adoption. Often, we have room to allow 1 or 2 owners to show their dogs and cats as well. Space is very limited at PetsMart, so if you want to come you need to schedule in advance.

 

For dogs, you cannot just drop your dog off and leave. You must stay with the dog. A PRM Volunteer must meet your dog and determine if it is suitable for the PetsMart environment. We cannot allow aggressive dogs to remain at the store.
