5 Reasons Why You Should Adopt A Dog!

There are SO many reasons why you should adopt, but here are just a few!

My heart breaks at the thought of all these beautiful animals being left without a home. I adopted a gorgeous pup that loves giving kisses and snuggling. Adopting is so much different than buying an animal from a breeder.

Here are just some of the reasons why:

1
You'll Save A Life!
Each year, 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States, simply because too many pets come into shelters and too few people consider adoption when looking for a pet, according to the U.S. Humane Society.
When you adopt, you save a loving animal by making them part of your family and open up shelter space for another animal who might desperately need it.
2
It Costs You Less
The cost of spay/neuter and first vaccinations is typically included in the adoption price.
3
It's Good For Your Health!
Not only do animals give you unconditional love, but they have been shown to be psychologically, emotionally and physically beneficial to their companions. Caring for a pet can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment and lessen feelings of loneliness. And when you adopt, you can also feel proud about helping an animal in need! This according to the Humane Society.
4
No Potty Training!
Often times, when you adopt, the animals are already house trained. Trust me on this one, it's a HUGE win!
