Why adopt and not shop for a pet? Animal shelters and
rescue organizations have limited resources. Many animals end up getting
euthanized if they're not adopted. People hesitate to adopt shelter
animals assuming it might be difficult to handle or they're convinced
they need a purebred animal.
Rescue cats and dogs are resilient, loyal, and have unique
personalities. All they need is love and a warm home.
By adopting a rescue animal, not only will you save a life, but also
give yourself the gift of unconditional love and companionship.
