Adopt a dog from your local shelter.
There are so many reasons to adopt a dog from your local shelter.
- You are saving a life. Every time you adopt an animal, you’re preventing them from being euthanized and allowing them to find their forever home with you instead.
- You’re helping the shelter. Shelters work hard to keep animals healthy and happy until they can be adopted, but that takes money! Adopting your next pet means less money spent by the shelter on veterinary bills and more resources available for other homeless animals that need care as well.
- You can find the perfect dog for you. There are so many wonderful dogs in need of loving homes that have unique personalities, needs, and energy levels—and shelters allow adopters to meet their potential new pets before committing themselves (and their wallets).
