Why Adopt?
Please don't BUY when shelter pets die! Adopt to save a life!
Did you know that 7 million adoptable dogs & cats are killed each year due mainly to overpopulation?
That's 800 pets an HOUR that never make it out of US shelters alive!
Don't be fooled into thinking that animal shelters and pet rescues are filled with dog or cats that were discarded because they're "bad".
Rescued pets for adoption are wonderful companions who became the victims of family tragedy,
unlucky circumstances or irresponsible owners.
Adopting a dog or cat from a humane society, an animal shelter, an SPCA, or a dog rescue or cat rescue group saves a life!
Remember: before you buy a dog or cat: ADOPTION is the most HUMANE option!
Pet adoption = an instant friend for life and makes you a HERO :
Ask anybody who has adopted a pet, and they'll swear their bond with their rescued pal is as deep as they come. When you open your heart and your home to a pet who needs love and help, they really do show their appreciation for the rest of their life! Dogs or cats who have been uprooted from their homes, or have had rough beginnings are likely to bond completely and deeply with their new human caretakers, whom they regard as heroes. Pups and kitties who find themselves in the shelter or at a rescue because of a death or other tragedy in their former human family usually go through a mourning period. Once they are adopted, however, they usually want nothing more than to please their new hero---YOU! No matter what circumstances brought them to the rescue, most cats and dogs for adoption are exceptionally affectionate and attentive, and make extremely loyal companions.
Are you ready to be a hero?
