Did you know…

Pets Come First is a non-profit organization, Adoption Center. We rely on fundraising and donations to keep the doors open and the animals fed. Because of a tight budget and limited space, we have to utilize a waiting list for animal surrenders. We ask that while you are on our wait list, or before making the decision to surrender your pet, that you check with your friends and fam

ily to see if they can help re-home the dog or cat. Ultimately it is the owner’s responsibility to find their pet a new home. We are very lucky to have a great shelter and be able to take in as many animals as we can, but sadly we only have so much space! We ask that you be patient when calling and leaving a message or requesting information. Feeding, walking and cleaning up after the animals is our #1 priority. If you have cruelty issues or concerns, please have the animal vetted if possible in an emergency, or call PCF for the cruelty agent’s information. If you find a lost dog or cat, please take the animal to a vet to check for a micro-chip first, then contact PCF, 3WZ, your local police station and Lyons Kennel to file a “found” report. We will also share Lost and Found postings on our page to help spread the word! If you have a legal issue with an animal, please call your local or state police. If you suspect abuse of an animal, please call your local police department as well. By law, an animal is required to have food, water and shelter. We wish we could do it all, but we need your help! Help us help them. If you would like to volunteer, please visit our website www.petscomefirst.net and fill out the volunteer form. To make a monetary donation, you can also visit the website. We are closed to the public except Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 pm. Those are open cat hours only. People interested in dogs must do
an approved application and make an appointment. Supply donations can be dropped off in our shed behind the shelter any time between 8 am and 4:30 pm or left at the front or back door. Thank you all! ♥ ♥ ♥

When you're driving through Bellefonte you've probably seen this couple walking down the streets! Kora was adopted from PCF in 2020 and her dad brought her to the shelter to visit the staff and volunteers. She's now 9 years old and is such a well mannered pup! Thank you Darrell for adopting!

Tia is wondering why no one has wanted to take her home.... she is the sweetest little lady and she makes an amazing lap warmer. Looking for a cuddle buddy? She's your girl! Endless face kisses? Also your girl! She's great with dogs and cats as well!! A real gem all around! She's low energy and goes for short walks as she tires quickly.

Added bonus, she's REALLY soft!

Dolly - 7 yr old, Female, English Bulldog

*Read all before inquiring*

Dolly is a special girl when it comes to having new people near her safe space (crate/kennel) but once you have her outside she's very sweet and opens up to attention/affection. She has lived with other dogs in the past. She seems to prefer dogs that are calm/non-dominant, not up in her face. She is quite the meatloaf right now and we've been working with her on slimming her down. She HAS to go to a home that has breed experience. She is one of those Bulldogs that needs a leader. If you think you're the one for her let us know!

A new Happy Tail to brighten your Wednesday! Brooke, adopted from us back in April, checked into let us know she's thriving in her new home!

"We adopted Brooke from you earlier this year. She is fine! More than fine - she's perfect. She is the kitty incarnation of Dennis the Menace, and we love her for it. Every day, she finds a new way to make us laugh! Could not have asked for a more perfect match for our family. Thank you so much!"
