Adopt a Shelter Dog

To often animals are thrown away like trash, for no other reason then for being an animal. Sure there are excuses:

• Not enough Money
• Don't have enough Time
• We're moving
• Divorce
• Birth of a Child
• Not Housebroken
• Behavior Issues

The list goes in. In reality, it doesn't matter the reason a pet was dumped at a shelter or rescue, or even the side of the road. The reality is that for most of these animals it is a death sentence. The majority of pets that walk into an animal shelter will never walk back out. For those that are released into the outside, they may get hurt, attacked by other animals, tormented by people, run over, or worse.

It is so important that those who are looking for a new pet consider all of the responsibilities that come with owning one. A pet is not a thing to be cast off at a whim. He or she is your best friend who will provide unconditional love. If you are ready to provide a forever home to a pet, then look at your local animal shelters and rescue to find one that will be a good fit with you and your family. Take your time and make sure that he or she is going to work with your schedule and lifestyle. Remember, once you adopt a pet, he is yours to keep forever. Why not save a life and adopt a shelter dog?
