    40 People Share The Most Wholesome Rescue Pet Photos That’ll Make Your Heart Melt

    On the average, approximately 6.5 million dogs and cats are rescued by community animal shelters nationwide. Majority of this population is comprised of companion animals rescued from cruelty, stray animals, and surrendered animals. Of the total number of animals entering shelters, only 48% of these are adopted as rescue pet. And the remaining rescue animals are either returned to their owners or euthanized. Hence, the number of euthanized animals could be reduced if more people adopt them.

     

    Why adopt a rescue pet?

    Today, more and more people are opting to adopt animals from shelters instead of buying them from pet shops. By adopting a rescue pet, they are able to save an animal from getting euthanized. Furthermore, it also helps the shelter to have more space to take in other rescue animals that are in dire need of care. Not to mention the funds you provide that could help cover expenses for vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and other essential supplies.

    Apart from these reasons, adopting a rescue pet will cost you less compared to buying from a pet store. When you adopt an animal, the cost of initial vaccinations, spay/neuter, and even micro-chipping, is included in the adoption price. These inclusions can significantly save you some of the upfront costs of getting an animal companion. And since most of these rescued animals are previously owned, you may also save on training and housebreaking expenses.

    Indeed, adopting a rescue pet is more humane than shopping from a pet store, wherever you look at it. But the bigger question is – are shelter animals make a better pet than those in the pet shops? Top-breed puppies mostly found in pet stores are top-of-the-range and all. But you need to be aware that most of these dogs came from a puppy mill. Puppy mills are factory-style facilities where female dogs are kept in cages to be bred for years.  The dogs and puppies inside the breeding facilities are confined in poor conditions without any medical care. After these breeding dogs already served their purpose, they are either abandoned or killed. With that being said, we can help shut down these inhumane facilities by not supporting their business.
