- You’ll save two lives:
- The pet you adopt and the pet the shelter can take in as a result of your adoption.
- You’ll know what you’re getting: Many shelters and rescues provide behavioral assessments on adoptable dogs and vet checks on all adoptable pets.
- Your perfect pet is waiting for you:
- 6-8 million cats and dogs enter shelters each year in addition to countless other species.
- 25-30% of shelter dogs are purebred.
- You’ll save money: “Free” pets are no bargain. Shelters and rescues usually cover initial veterinary costs, including:
- Spaying/neutering $150-300
- Distemper vaccination $20-30 x2
- Rabies vaccination $15-25
- Heartworm test $15-35
- Flea/tick treatment $50-200
- Microchip $50
TOTAL: $320-670

All 3 of our current dogs were rescues. One was a private family who couldn’t keep him in the city anymore(german shepherd) and the two shelties were abandoned and taken to the pound. Poor puppies.

I think adopting is a great idea! My sister works at a shelter and they are always running deals on pets because they get to full!
