Answer 4

Horray for you for wanting to adopt!

You should know that shelters often don't have time to list all the small pets on the internet, so just call them and ask what they have.  

www.petfinder.com is a good place to start.  

DO NOT go to Petsmart, Petco, or any petshop.  The pigs in the shelters are perfectly healthy and happy.  If you buy, you are leaving a pig in a shelter.

Answer 5

First off, Good for you for wanting to adopt!!

Here is a petfinder search for your area

Answer 6

honestly I find most of my pets on www.craigslist.org. people have to rehome their pets and you can often get them for free or much cheaper and end up saving their lives!
