November's Adopt-a Pet of the Month! Meet Tapper!

I would like to introduce to you Tapper, who is our Pet of the Month for October. WDEF News 12 is proud to team up with Mckamey Animal Care and Adoption Center.

Tapper is a 2 year old Bull Mastiff mix who was looking for a handshake during the entire interview this morning on WDEF News 12 This Morning. She may be large, but she is SWEET. I wish I could take her home to add to my two large breeds. She will need a yard, but would love to snuggle! 

During the interview, we also answered some questions that you have about Mckamey in hopes to better serve your needs.

Here is the interview.

From Mckamey:“At our adoption center, you will have an opportunity to meet and visit with your potential new companion in person. Spend as much time as you desire getting to know an animal. You may review specially developed behavior and health profiles, and lifestyle considerations on each of our adoption animals. Adoption counselors will work with you to help find that perfect pet, but bear in mind that this may often require more than one visit.An adoption counselor will answer all your questions and review important information with you. They can help you decide what size, age, breed and temperament will most successfully meet your expectations. They will review information about your pet's adjustment to his or her new home, housetraining, health concerns, vaccinations, nutrition, training, grooming, etc.Because adopting an animal is a family decision, please bring your whole family, including current resident dogs (if you are adopting a dog), to meet your potential companion. Please leave your resident cats safely at home.

The entire adoption process can be time consuming. You will be asked to complete an adoption questionnaire. But this time is well invested when you consider that your pet will live with you for up to 15 years or more. We ask for your patience and cooperation in the joyful process of bringing pets and people together.Remember: We are here to help should questions or concerns arise, and we are committed to making each placement positive and permanent.”
