Modern society suggests buying purebred pets from stores and breeders, while neglecting to put light on the dark side of the pet industry. Buying pet from pet stores supports an industry that thrives and prospers on changing the welfare of animals. Plus, it denies homeless pets a home.
Generally speaking, here are the top 7 benefits of adopting:
- You save a life. Actually you save two lives – the pet you adopt and a homeless animal somewhere which can now be rescued because of the space you helped free up.
- You break the cycle of pet overpopulation. Despite of the nationwide gaining momentum of the no-kill movement, each year 8 to 12 million pets are euthanized, simply because there are not enough homes for all of them and the shelters are overcrowded.
- You help stop cruelty in the mass breeding process. Commercial pet-breeding facilities and backyard, so called breeders, see the animal as an asset and uses it for producing litter upon litter, while offering intolerable conditions and environments.
- You are being easy on your wallet. Buying a purebred pet with ancestral titles and prizes costs hundreds or thousands of dollars, while adopting is much less expensive. Plus, hybrids are usually healthier.
- You get a pet who has received good care. Shelter animals are admitted and taken care by experienced staff.
- You avoid housebreaking headaches. Luckily, many shelter pets have already been housebroken.
- You take advantage of adopting an adult animal. Simply put, you are skipping the irritating ,,childhood faze’’ and ,,testing the boundaries faze’’.
