Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened: Anatole France

Every year, of the approximately 6.5 million companion animals entering animal shelters in the United States, 1.5 million are euthanized. The number of euthanized animals could be reduced if more people start adopting pets instead of buying them.

Adopting a pet will not only save a life but will also give a homeless animal a forever home.

Adopt Not Shop

When you buy an animal, you're supporting cruel breeding mills. These mills mass-produce animals as if they were products. They put profit above the welfare of animals.

They house animals in shockingly poor conditions with improper medical care.

Every dollar spent at pet stores means you are indirectly contributing to more animal suffering. When you buy one pet from the shop, one more animal is bred. By adopting a pet, you can be certain you aren't giving them a dime.

By adopting from an animal shelter you will help save two lives, the pet you adopt, and a homeless animal somewhere who can be rescued because of the space you helped free up.

Adopting a pet from an animal shelter is less expensive than buying a pet from a pet shop. Cost of spay/neuter, first vaccinations and sometimes even microchipping is included in the adoption price.

If you are looking to adopt a furry bundle of joy but not sure where to get started. Well, look no further than the smartphone in your hands!

With the advent of digital technologies, such as mobile applications, finding a perfect animal to adopt is no more complicated. Pet adoption apps have made adoption easier and less time-consuming.
