Why Adopt a Dog or Cat Over Buying?
Abandoned by the side of the road. Rescued from puppy mills. Orphaned by storms. No matter where they are, all homeless pets have one thing in common: they just want a family to call their own.
There are 8 million pets living in shelters in the U.S. and Canada. About half get adopted. The rest are euthanized at the rate of 11,000 a day.
You can make a difference by adopting a pet … and saving a life.
Did you know that over 1,000 people per hour run a search right here looking to adopt a pet? Pet adoption is quickly becoming the preferred way to find a new dog, puppy, cat or kitten. Best of all, there are so many benefits when you adopt a dog or adopt a cat over buying. For instance, pet adoption will almost always be more affordable than buying a puppy for sale from a breeder or finding a kitten for sale from a litter. There are more benefits as well. Since pets in rescues and shelters usually come from a home where the owners ran out of money, got divorced, or had to move, it's common to find that the dogs and cats are already housetrained, good with kids, or do well with other pets. People are finding out that buying a puppy for sale from a breeder isn't all it's cracked up to be and the stress of training a puppy is too much these days.
