You receive unconditional love and gain a lifetime friend.
There’s a reason why a dog is man’s best friend. A rescue dog is as capable as any other dog to give you unconditional and undying love. What can top that?
You provide a second chance of happiness.
Adopting goes beyond helping but giving your rescue canine another chance to be happy and loved by a family.
You become physically active.
Caring for a dog means taking him/her for walks outdoors which likewise enables you to stay healthy with exercise and lots of sunshine.
You get retail therapy.
You’ll be tempted to shop and spoil your rescue dog, with so many cute or innovative pet products in the market, getting retail therapy at the same time.
You discourage unethical breeding.
Pet stores sell dogs that have been cruelly bred while keeping them in tight and ill-kept spaces. Don’t support these practices. Adopt a rescue dog instead of buying from pet stores.
You destress.
Because they have so much love and affection to give, your rescue dog will take your mind off life’s stressors.
Your social circle expands.
You’ll get to meet other dog parents and new friends at the park.
You save more than one life.
Adoption changes lives. When you adopt a rescue dog, you free a slot in the shelter for another one to find his/her forever family, so you don’t just save one but many lives, including your own.
