If you are interested in getting a pet, adoption is a fantastic way to add to your family. Dr. Bennett and Dr. MacKnight are happy to consult with you on selecting the breed or type of pet that will best fit your lifestyle and environment, and how to introduce your pet to your home.
Montgomery County Animal Services is the government run animal control facility. They do an excellent job caring for homeless, abused, and neglected animals in Montgomery County. As part of the Department of Police, they also attend to the safety and welfare of our citizens by investigating complaints and responding to animal emergencies 24 hours a day.
If you have a particular breed or type of dog in mind, breed specific rescues are always a good resource. Their members really understand the dogs they are adopting out and can help you make an educated decision regarding your future family member. Consider some of our favorite breed rescues (in no particular order). These are rescue organizations with which Dr. Bennett or Dr. MacKnight have had personal experience. If you have a breed rescue that you would like to see on the list, please let us know!
