PETS POLICY
All PETS puppies and kittens are being fostered by different families, as PETS believes in a FREE RANGE policy where the puppies and dogs are integrated with families, other dogs, cats and kids immediately to help them cope and recover. This also helps them to adjust to normal life, so when they are adopted they are not Cage Babies. All our animals that we rescue share our beds with us as well as our own pets lifestyles. So they are all healthy and well adjusted.
