DOGS AND ADOPTION – IMPORTANCE
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves
you more than he loves himself – Josh
Billings
Dogs are called man’s best friend. Ever
wonder why? A dog is a selfless animal
who loves its owner without any selfish
interests. The infectious enthusiasm with
its smiling face and wagging tail can uplift
any person with a compassionate heart.
So, where do you look for a dog if you are
ready to keep one as a pet? As a shelter
owner and passionate animal lover, I
recommend adopting a dog from a shelter.
While you may understand the importance
of adoptions, you may not know of all the
benefits of adopting a rescue dog rather
than shopping at a pet store puppy mill.
The following are the top reasons why
adopting a rescue dog is beneficial:
You will save a precious life
When you adopt a rescue dog, you’re very
likely saving that dog's life. This is an
incredibly rewarding experience.
Shelters can help finding the right
dog
As a beginner, you have no idea what the
temperament of a puppy is when you’re
shopping at pet stores. Pet shelters know
the temperament of the dogs in the shelter
and can help find the right dog for you. This
helps prevent the need to give the dog up in
the future.
The shelter will have room for
another dog
Not only are you giving a home to one dog,
but you may save the life of another by
making room in the shelter. Shelters that
don't euthanize can only help so many dogs
before they fill up. When you adopt, they
have room for one more.
Healthy pets
Dogs in shelters have usually been checked
out by the vet, fixed and are up-to-date on
shots. This means that you’re adopting a
dog you know is healthy.
You’ll save money
Adopting a dog is much more affordable
than buying a dog from a pet store or
breeder. While prices vary from shelter to
shelter, you will save money not only on the
cost of the dog, but on vet care.
You won't support puppy mills
You never know what conditions a pet
store dog was raised in, which means you
may be supporting puppy mills. When you
adopt, you’re putting one less sale into the
pockets of irresponsible breeders.
You’ll help reduce the pet population
problem
When you buy from a pet store, you create
a demand for more puppies. This means
breeders will continue to breed their dogs
to make more sales. When you adopt,
you’re giving a home to an abandoned dog
and preventing the need for additional
breeding.
Many rescued dogs are already
house trained
Some shelters raise dogs in foster homes,
which means the dog has already been
exposed to house training. Dogs that have
been abandoned by their owners may also
be trained to live indoors. This can make
owning a pet even more enjoyable.
