Every interaction you have with our animals helps them to become more adoptable. Especially for those who have suffered, just being with them helps to build trust and confidence.
• Dogs -cleaning kennels, walking on leash, practicing simple commands (sit, lie, come, stop) … which gives them activity and exercise, and makes them more adoptable!
• Horses - feeding, grooming, mucking out stalls, refilling water bins.
Volunteering makes you feel good and it’s great for your physical, mental, and emotional health. Build or refresh your experience, develop responsibility, gain skills, and work with others. There’s plenty of open, green space — enjoy being outdoors!

Top 10 Reasons to Adopt
1. End senseless deaths. Nearly two million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanised every year in the U.S., according to national estimates. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that 9.76 billion land animals were slaughtered in 2020.
2. Save a life, plus support the next animals coming to Graceland Meadows.
3. Wipe out puppy mills. By adopting - rather than buying from a store, the internet or an ad - not one penny goes to puppy mills and their brutal practices.
4. Experience the world, together with your new companion – from a fresh, shared perspective.
5. Welcome the psychological, emotional, and physical benefits -from increased exercise, to lower blood pressure, reduced stress, loneliness, and anxiety.
6. Develop empathy, responsibility, and curiosity. Perfect if your home includes a child.
7. Bring home a rescue; they are often already house-trained and used to living with a family!
8. Discover a purpose.
9. Learn to use your senses and live the moment.
10. Get in touch with your wild side.
