Age, breeds, mixed breeds, and personality choices are greater.Many are already trained.Your bed is pre-warmed on cold winter nights.Animals are just ready to love you, no matter what.Adopting from a shelter opens a cage for another pet who needs a new forever home.An adult pet takes the guess work out of determining size, thickness of coat, and energy level.Mixed breeds are unique compared to purebreeds and may have less genetically inherited health problems.Take this quiz to find out which dog is right for you!Please adopt some lovely doggosAs someone who just adopted a third doggo from the shelter, please do it if you can find a dog right for you. Those shelters do everything they can to keep them alive, but it’s a family that keeps them happy.Okay, but is there a quiz for which shelter kitty I should get?@deigns​ good u asked, yes!!! sorry I forgot to add that one, anyway here is itWhat Breed of Cat should you get? Ty jake peraltaPlus? Those animals in the pound? They KNOW that they are on death row. My first dog as a married woman was an eleventh hour adoption. A 13-y-o basset hound mix (pound said they thought he was 11 because they were trying to save him by making him sound a teeny bit younger) and he was “Til death do we part” loyal. We lost him 4 years later to cancer, and we (the family had grown from 2 to 3 humans) were devastated.My sister? Fosters cats, and ended up with a charmer who’d been hit by a car. Sephiroth is a well loved asshole, and his brother, Cloud (a stray who found a sucker bet), is almost canine levels of friendly.Be a superhero. Save a life. Rescue.As someone who has worked in a shelter for two years and watched many of my babies go to their incredible forever homes, you wouldn’t BELIEVE how big of a difference you can see in the animals’ behavior from being in the kennels to even just a few minutes after leaving. When their new owners are filling out the paperwork, there’s already a new spark in their eyes. They KNOW they’re going home; they know they’re getting to be loved the way all animals deserve to be. There are so many beautiful animals in shelters that get overlooked. Next time you’re searching for a companion, check your local shelters and rescues. Not only are you getting a companion, but you’re saving a life. I got my Norwegian Forest Cat from a shelter. He’s huge, and never shuts up, and is moody and a prolific hunter (or was. He’s not allowed out), and the biggest cuddliest mamas boy on the planet. i just adopted my first cat from the humane society ! her name is Persephone and she’s 14 almost 15 years old. i love my angel so much. I got all three of my cats from shelters and they are honestly so appreciative! They are amazing little creatures and have become the light of my life…. please adopt!! You won’t regret it and neither will your little ball of fur. This cutie used to be a stray in Greece. A lot of people try to poisen them, because there are so many strays there (which is the peoples fault. They buy puppies and leave them on the streets when they are older).I‘m happy, I had the chance to safe my little lady. I still wish to safe more. They are always so happy when you only pet them or just give them a bit of attention.My babies Penelope and Eloise were irresponsibly let outside without being spayed. Both got pregnant and their owner dumped them at the shelter two weeks before they were due with kittens. Due to being full to capacity, they were immediately at the top of the kill list. Thankfully a foster rescued them, got them healthy, helped them birth nine healthy kittens between the two of them, rescued four more orphan kittens that these girls adopted and nursed, got them ALL fixed, got ALL THIRTEEN kittens good homes, and I adopted these silly, destructive, adorable, loud, cuddle bugs. They’re a bonded pair, and they’ve brought light and love and laughter into my life. Please adopt!!!! Please fix your pets! Save a love, be compassionate, and find your best friend! Both adopted in a shelter. Best decision I have ever made.My husband and I adopted this little ball of love from a shelter and he’s literally the most amazing dog in the world. ❤️ got all four of my loves from our local shelter. absolute sweethearts ❤️Both of our doggies were saved just before they were supposed to be euthanized! So glad to have had them in my life!!I got my Beau from a Dogs Trust rescue centre! And, even though Dogs Trust are a no-kill organisation, they do still have plenty of dogs that are desperate for homes because they’ve been waiting so long - they call them “Sticky Dogs” because they stick around for such a long time and are hard to find homes for.Beau was a Sticky Dog. He’d been there for eight or nine months because he was a Difficult Dog with some very specific needs. He needed to be in a house with no other pets, no children, with someone who could be at home with him all the time; you might imagine how this would make it difficult for him to find a new family! But since I’m out of work and live on my own, his needs and mine lined up perfectly and he came home with me. <3 He’s a lovely handsome boy who has come on in leaps and bounds since he moved in here - he always does his best for me and I wouldn’t be without him for anything in the world. Also he watches me from the bedroom window anytime I have to go out. Rescue animals are great. -- source link
