Adoption is so crucial with so many deserving pets left at shelters or found in the street. When you adopt a rescue dog you are saving lives. A dog in need gains a family, a space is opened up at the shelter for another life, over breeding and puppy mills lose clients as a result of a reduction in demand for dogs or cats. It is our ethical responsibility to reduce the issues breeding has caused. When you adopt a pet, the bond between you and your four legged companion is very strong. They know you have saved them, and you, in turn, feel an innate responsibility to care for, protect, and love your new furbaby. A pet fills your heart with all that is good. With the purest souls and best intentions, these creatures become the best part of your day. You will see many pet adoption quotes on the internet, as bumper stickers, and on social media. All these quotes send the same message. Adoption changes lives for the better. The animals life, and also yours.
