Additionally, when you adopt, you make space for another animal that is homeless in the shelter, saving many lives through one simple act of compassion.

Adopting a pet will prevent the euthanasia each year of millions of loving and healthy animals. Many of these animals are euthanized because of the lack of space available in overcrowded shelters. The number of pets that are euthanized could be reduced dramatically if more people chose adoption instead of purchasing the pet. Adopting a pet isn't just an excellent way to bring home the perfect pet for you but it's also a wonderful way to help save the lives of a lot of other pets. It's a win-win for everyone!

Every year millions of animals are killed in shelters because there isn't enough space for them. Adopting a pet is directly impacting that overpopulation and saving lives. Adoption also offers shelters with the resources they need and helps them to continue their vital work while breaking the cycle of overpopulation of pets. While buying can help support breeders that adhere to responsible breeding practices, most pets sold in shops come from animal farms and are younger and have more issues with behavior than shelter pets. Adopting a pet is a great way to acquire a mature or senior pet that may be overlooked in a store.

After you've completed your research, you can then decide if you want to adopt or buy.

A purchase from a pet store or breeder could be a cruel experience, as many animals sold are not properly taken care of and may even suffer from medical conditions that could be passed to your new pet or cat. Additionally, if you decide to purchase from a breeder it is crucial to get as many details about the breeding practices and animals' history as possible.

Adoption is a wise choice because it directly addresses the problem of animal overpopulation. There are millions of animals that enter shelters every year, and many are put to death due to overcrowding or insufficient resources. Adopting an animal allows another pet to be saved and even rescued.

Pet adoption can also help to end the cycle of pet overpopulation by reducing the demand for animals that are offered by breeders as well as in pet stores. Each year 8 to 12 million dogs, cats, puppies and kittens are put to death due to the lack of homes available for them. By adopting, you will aid in reducing the number of animals killed and reduce the demand for animals that are being raised in filthy conditions.

Furthermore, many shelters have an array of animals available for adoption. You can adopt a puppy or kitten or get an adult pet who is house-trained. This will save you money, time and effort as you won't need to handle the puppy/kitten phase.
