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! ♥ ♥ ♥

Where's our Border Collie lovers? Meet Casper, we believe he's at least 6 months old. He was found as a stray so we have no background on him. He can live with dogs, cats and kids. But you may need to train him properly with the cats. He gets easily intimidated by them. Fill out an application today! https://petscomefirst.net/

Shy River Kitten 3 checked in to let us know he's doing very well in his new home! Do you think he has enough toys? 😆

"Wanted to let you know how well River Kitten 3, now known as Sherman is doing. He is fitting right in with the rest of his former PCF crew, is full of s***k, and is a very sweet boy."

Another amazing Happy Tail came in today! These two PCF cats hit the jackpot with their new home!

"Cricket and Ivan have both settled in nicely! Cricket made herself at home and loves to chase and tackle "things on strings." Ivan loves to cuddle, and his confidence and walking abilities grow every day - he can climb stairs all by himself now! Both are very active, very playful, and have quite big personalities!

The two of them are still trying to get used to each other...Cricket hasn't been with a CH [cerebellar hypoplasia, a neurological condition affecting motor skills] cat before and is still learning how to read Ivan's wobbly movements. But we see little moments of progress between their relationship every day!

We are thrilled to have adopted them and couldn't ask for better additions to our lil family."

If you'd like to share a Happy Tail to be featured on our page too, feel free to send us a Facebook message! We love to see how all of our animals -- dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, horses, etc. -- are doing!

Say hello to Lucy-Lu! She is a 1 year old Heeler mix, she's use to living with kids 5+. She sometimes comes off too strong to her dog friends and may do best with being the only dog. She plays rough with other dogs and doesn't have the best social skills. We do feel she can over come this with proper training/socializing. She tested well with the cats in our cat room. But they are in cages so we don't know upon contact what she'd do. She is very high energy and will need exercised daily. She is crate trained and has some form of house training but we can't guarantee it's 100%.

Meet our little 💩. We're not exaggerating when we say that's exactly what she is and if you've met her then you know 🤣. This is Precious and while she is super adorable she is NAUGHTY. She can be with other dogs big & small but she's a rough player so they'd need to be able to play too. She should not live with cats as she lives/loves to terrorize them. Kids should be 13+ as she can be nippy. She must have a fenced in yard! She will run away the second you give her the chance and she loves to slip past you when you open doors to leave. She's been with us for 7 months now because she's a lot of attitude/dog in a small body. If you think you can handle her fill out an application, and may the odds be in your favor!

Introducing our three newest special needs kids. Four month old kittens Ivan (grey), Katya and Nina (calicos). These three are littermates and all three born with CH. They’re adorable, super sweet and extremely playful. While they have gotten better with practice and exercise, they’re still very unsteady on their feet. Because of this they need a special family. One with the time, patience and willingness to work with them and adapt to their needs. If you have questions or you’re interested in meeting Ivan, Katya or Nina, please send us a message or call us a call at 814-364-1725. **approved application required for adoption. Application can be found on our website and emailed to us at [email protected]

Grand Prize Winner

Congratulations to Lizzie Parra for winning our grand prize drawing! Lizzie couldn't be here tonight, so we captured her finding out the good news!

Join us to find out the 2022 Subaru winner!

Meet Alyssa. She came in as a stray kitten with a severe eye infection, totally blind. Although the infection has since cleared up her visual impairment appears to be permanent. Alyssa doesn’t let this stop her from loving everyone she meets and having fun like any other kitten. She will need a special home that has experience and patience for a visually impaired kitten. For more information on Alyssa please message us on Facebook or call the shelter at (814) 364-1725 Reminder that all cat and kitten adoption fees are waived during the month of October! All normal adoption requirements still apply.
