Shelter dogs deserve love, families, and homes. They’re just as great as pets as any store-bought dog could possibly be. Here are 5 reasons why you should adopt a shelter dog.
There Is A Lot Of Variety
Shelter dogs come in all shapes and sizes. There are purebreds, mutts, and everything else in between, with tons of different personalities, ages, and backgrounds.
You Save Money
Owning a dog isn’t cheap, but getting from a shelter helps bring you several steps ahead. Most shelter dogs are de-sexed and up-to-date on vaccinations and preventative care when you get them.
You Save A Dog’s Life
Shelter dogs often come from traumatic backgrounds, and the stress of a shelter isn’t great for them. Even in no-kill shelters, the overcrowded situation robs a dog of the life they deserve, and it can even shorten their lifespan.
A Dog Is A Great Companion
There’s a reason we call them man’s best friend. They’re amazing companions to all people of all ages. They love unconditionally and with all their hearts.
A Dog Will Change Your Life
Getting a dog is a big life change, but it’s a good one. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without a canine companion in your life!
