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! ♥ ♥ ♥

A Happy Tail from Milli who spent her 4th of July in Miami Beach! From scared breeder mama to experienced traveler, Milli has certainly found herself a wonderful family. Her mom even jokes that she should be A-listed by the airline for all of the miles she's gotten lol!

"Just had to send you an update on Miss Milli. She loves going everywhere with us and probably has more miles on her than most humans. Such a great addition to our family—truly a joy—we are blessed!"

Winnie - 4yr old, Female, Shih Tzu

Winnie is a very sweet, docile girl. She's still learning to warm up to people/affection. She must have another dog in the home and a fenced in yard is preferred. She's fine with cats too and kids should be 12+.

Meet Colby! He's a 1 1/2 yr old, Male, Corgi Mix. He's done well with all the dogs we've let him meet and he lived with other previous dogs in his home. He's a smaller boy but lots of character to keep you busy! He can be vocal at times so if you dont like a barker hes not for you. We think he'd do okay with cats but we can cat test him to make sure if your interested in him and have cats. Kids should be 10+ as he likes to jump a lot and is still very much a puppy.

Thank you Seven Mountains Wine Cellars! The Chicko sisters decided to get out of the flea market business and have generously donated their sock inventory to PCF. In turn Seven Mountains Wine Cellers are offering the socks at their winery. $5 a pair or 5 for $20. Lots of dog breeds to pick from. All proceeds benefit PCF. The socks are also available at the PCF shelter.

Wear Socks, Save Tails!

Banjo!

He's a 1 yr old, Male. Pit Mix. He's 52lbs of solid muscle!

He's been with us since January of 2025.

🛑 Read it all before inquiring 🛑

* He will need someone with breed experience & reactive dog experience. *

Banjo is a special boy. Unfortunately he has been put through a lot of trauma in his short life and because of that he isn't big on other dogs. As you can see he has scars all over his face from being attacked. While he isn't sure about other dogs we feel with the right person he could live with another dog. He would do best with a submissive female. He is going to need a lot of training/socializing when it comes to other dogs which will always be an on-going thing. However we do feel in time he can overcome this but it's going to take someone very special to help this little hippo.

He is the happiest boy! He LOVES people and he loves to do what pitties do! SNUGGLE! He can not live with cats and kids should be 13+ as he doesn't know his size and likes to jump. (A behavior that can be broken with training). He can be strong when walking so you'd either have to be able to handle him or have a fenced in yard.

Meet Stella Brown!

Stella Brown is a beautiful calico girl who was found as a stray with her young kittens. They've all since been adopted, but Stella Brown waits patiently for her turn at a loving home.

She's a calm, laidback girl who does have some of that calico sass when she decides she's done with attention. Her only requirement for a home is that there are either no other cats or one other cat who will leave her alone. She is not a big fan of company.

She will have been here for one year in August -- can we find her a home before then?

To meet Stella Brown visit Pets Come First on the weekends between 12-4 pm Saturdays and Sundays. If you're a pre-approved you can also set up a weekday appointment by calling the shelter at 814-364-1725.
