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?
