PetLynx 101: Why should pet families pre-register before adopting?

Bet ya can't pick just one!

Adopting a new animal companion is exciting! But it can also be intimidating and overwhelming .... even for those of us who have been through it before!

There is a lot of emotion involved in that first week and, because of this, new pet families often lose sight of some of the responsibilities that come with their new bundle of joy. This distraction is reason enough to encourage pet families to pre-register with PetLynx  before they get to the shelter.By creating an account for themselves before they walk in your door, adopters not only save you time and money but they prove that they are serious about taking on the responsibility associated with having a new pet.

Pre-registration also teaches pet families that they are accountable for keeping their pet(s) information current and that PetLynx is the place to do it.

By the time Fluffy wanders out the door for the first time, your pet families will already know that the first steps in getting their pet home ... safe includes PetLynx! Nose kisses, 'potty' training successes, and a multitude of other 'firsts' will only hold an allure for so long. Encouraging your pet families to be responsible pet owners is what really leads to increased recoveries, shorter shelter stays, and great HomeSafe stories.
