Local Animal Welfare & Shelters in Whittlesea VIC

We have been declined a few times before by the same shelter and feel that it was their duty to do so to ensure that pets who have been neglected and the people who adopt them are best suited for each other. We got our pair, Chihuahua (Cookie) and kitten (Mingkee), from Pets Haven in 2010. These two were bonded pairs, and Pets Haven has ensured that we are best suited for them as carers. We were proud to be their pet parents and brought them here to Canada. Our Cookie has long passed due to cancer, but our Mingkee boo is still with us, cute as ever. We are still in touch with the women who helped us adopt them, and we are grateful. For those who want to adopt, please be mindful that people who work at shelters volunteer their time and have to tend to animals who have been neglected or left to die every day. They only have a little time or money to save more animals that need help. I noticed that those who posted negative comments had more votes than those who had positive experiences. It saddens me that it is easier to connect with hate and negativity than promote empathy these days. For Pets Haven, again thank you for your hard work and continue for caring for these animals.
