Welcome to Pet Talk, an occasional column about homeless pets and related topics. Today we’re discussing some advantages of adopting. Below are some heartfelt reasons, courtesy of the ASPCA.
Top 10 Benefits of Adopting:
You’re Saving More Than One Life- By adopting, you’re helping to create more space and resources in the shelter for another animal in need.
You’re Giving a Deserving Animal a Second Chance at a Happy Life – (‘nuff said there!)
You’re Fighting Back Against Cruel Breeding and Puppy Mills - By adopting, you’re providing a second chance for your new best friend and helping other pets in need instead of potentially supporting cruel breeders.
You’re Going to Receive Unconditional Love, What Could Be Better? - (Right!)
You’ll Have a Reason to Stay Active - (Right again!)
You’ll Have Someone Who Will Never Judge You for Being a Couch Potato – (Think cuddly cats!)
You Might Meet New People - (Like at the dog park!)
You’ll Laugh Way More Than You Think – (And who doesn’t need a good laugh now and then!)
Life Will Never Be Boring Again – (Think silly puppies here…)
You’ll Have a New Best Friend – (And who doesn’t need one?)
Here are 2 more reasons, applicable to our valley: The Flathead County Animal Shelter is currently full to the max, and adoption fees for adult dogs (5 months to 7 yrs old) are currently waived. So, if you need a new 4-legged family member please consider adopting one or more from the shelter today.
