Please Adopt A Shelter Pet
This is a video to show my wonderful cat Snickers. Like everyone she has a story. About a year ago I was at work. I work for an animal shelter and this little four week old kitten that was half starved was brought in. I felt an immediate bond with her and without question I took her home. Everyone at work felt like she was too far gone and suggested euthanasia.After several sleepless nights of round the clock bottle feeding she began to get stronger and healthier. After a visit at the vet she was given a clean bill of health. She’s even FIV negative. Almost a year later she is still able to surprise me with the things she does and brings a smile to my face every day. I know she is grateful for me for saving her but I am so grateful for her. I’ve some bad days and to come home and see her waiting for me is the greatest gift anyone can have.
Ask anyone who works at an animal shelter and they will tell you that it is sickening how many animals are without homes. At our shelter our adoption numbers are going up, but it isn’t enough. Everyday thousands of unwanted animals are euthanized simply because there aren’t enough homes for them. If you buy from breeders or pet stores you are only fueling the need for unwanted animals. If you want a pure bred, there is one sitting at a shelter right now. I think the average was that 25% of animal intakes are pure bred. Until people take responsibility for their pets nothing will change. The first step is to spay and neuter. Make sure your animals have identification.
And for all you breeders out there. This isn’t a way to make money. The responsible breeders barely break even. After vet visits, food, and shots it comes up to a huge bill. If you breed and don’t care about the health of the dog only the price tag you’ve put on them, shame on you. These are living souls who deserve a life of love. Love your animals for who they are and not how much money they can get for you.
