Clear The Shelters And Adopt A Furbaby!

From the west coast to the east coast on August 15 shelters across the country are taking part in a nationwide push to place pets in forever homes. Hundreds of shelters have agreed to cut the cost of adoption for the one-day. If you have doubts below are reasons to disprove misconceptions.

1. They will always eat my food.

It's not about if they will eat your food, it's about the fact that you will always have company.

2. They will get in my way.

Neigh! They will help you clean! Here we see a cat dusting the top of a door. When was the last time you did that on your own?

3. They will waste my water.

Think of it this way, if you get multiple animals they can all share a bath.

4. They won't appreciate me.

Lies. They appreciate everything you do. Here we see this black cat light up at seeing her first ever Christmas present.

5. I already own a cat/dog.

That's great because both can get along very well!

6. Pets are in shelters because they didn’t make good pets.

They are not in the shelters because they didn't make good pets, they are there because you haven't picked them up yet.

7. Veterinarian bills cost a lot

No owner wants a pet to suffer because medical care is out of reach. The American Veterinary Medical Association's website and humanesociety.org have organizations that can help out with vet bills, either with low-cost care, loans and other programs.

8. They will take up my bed.

Yes...Yes they will, but that means you have COMFORT and STYLE.

9. At the end of the day....

You are taking home a little friend who will dedicate their love to you...even if they are little ham's while they sleep. #WhosavedWho
