If you are thinking of getting a pet, cat or dog, you should consider the possibility of adoption, instead of buying it.
1. Saves a life.
The number of abused animals can be dramatically reduced if more people adopt them instead of buying them.
2. They are loved.
Animal shelters and rescue teams are full of happy, healthy pets, just waiting for someone to take them home. Many of them are trained and accustomed to living with people.
3. Cost.
The cost of adoption (sometimes even free) is much less than when you buy it in pet stores.
4. Staying at home.
Many of the pets from shelters and rescue centers are accustomed to home life.
5. More than that.
Overcrowded shelters take in many stray animals, abused and lost each year, and by adopting one, you are making room for others.
Seriously, what could be more than that?
