    6 Reasons You Should Always Adopt Your Pets

    Save a life today! Adopt, don't buy.

    1. Almost 3 million cats and dogs in shelters are put down every year.

    2. Adopting a puppy means you are not supporting a puppy mill!

    3. Just because your dog/cat came from a breeder, doesn't make it safe.

    4. If you adopt a pet, you help break the myth that there are "just not enough homes" for shelter pets.

    5. Your adoption fee helps a future stray animal!

    6. Adopting a shelter pet means you're able to take in a relinquished animal.
