My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Marlo! This beautiful lady came to us when her previous owner could no longer continue caring for she and her previous roommate Melvin. As Marlo is a red-eared slider she cannot be adopted within Pittsburgh city limits due to local regulations. She will need a spacious aquatic setup with both swimming areas and a dry basking spot equipped with a UVB light to maintain her shell and overall health. She thrives on a balanced diet of turtle pellets, leafy greens, and occasional protein treats like insects or fish. Marlo will do best with a dedicated owner who understands her specific care needs and can provide a clean, temperature-regulated habitat where she can swim, bask, and thrive. Adopt Marlo today!

Additional adoption info

We invite you to visit the shelter locations and meet the animals and the adoption team!

Our adoption process is aimed at matching you, your family and your current pets with our animals for adoption. An adoption counselor will introduce you to our animals in a private meeting room. We will share information about the animal's medical and behavioral needs as well as their history.

When you find the right pet for you and your family, the adoption counselor will assist you in completing the proper paperwork. This process includes signing an adoption contract, reviewing medical history and providing proper pet care information.

What you will need in order to adopt:

A valid photo ID with your current address.

We recommend all members of the household meeting the animal before adopting.

If you are interested in adopting a dog and have other dog(s) living in your household, it is recommended that all dogs meet each other at the shelter.

Certain animals require additional steps or requirements.

Adoption fee is accepted in cash or credit/debit card. Checks, American Express, Discover, Care Credit are not accepted as payment.

PLEASE NOTE: We are not able to place a hold or accept a deposit for animals that are not available for adoption, that you have not done a formal meet and greet with, or over the phone. Adoptions are approved for the first qualified home. Adoption is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh.
