This week we were lucky enough to talk with Apryl of Animal Welfare of Laurens County. We asked a few questions regarding their experience with KIDS 'N' PETS and their adoption process.1) What have you used KIDS ‘N’ PETS for?
We use KIDS 'N' PETS to clean our puppy cages and the surrounding area. It works great and smells good which really helps in a dog rescue.
2) How does your adoption process work?
When a family sees a dog or puppy they're considering adopting they submit an application for adoption. We check all their references, do a home visit if we feel it's necessary and the family signs an adoption contract and they take their pet home.
3) Before adopting a pet what do you think is the most important thing to consider? We strongly recommend doing a little research on the breed you're considering adopting. You should know the strong points as well as the breed's peculiarities and possible draw-backs before bringing the pet home.
4) Any additional tips for people who are looking to adopt but also have kids?
We don't recommend adopting a pet younger than about 3 months when you have toddlers in the home. Little puppies have sharp nails and teeth and don't understand that human babies are easily scratched. Also, human toddlers can be hard on very small or young puppies if they're not closely monitored at all times they're with the puppy. Both types of 'babies' can easily damage the other.
