Adoption vs. Buying
Posted by juliana on June 6th, 2009 filed in Cats, DogsWhen getting a new pet you need to decide where you are getting your pet from. You can chose between a breeder or a shelter. My dog came from a breeder, and my cats came from a shelter.
I think that adopting from a shelter is the kindest thing to do. Sometimes you’re saving the animal’s life, because many animals get euthanized if they can’t find homes. You’re also helping to reduce the number of homeless animals. Also, adopting is usually cheaper. After you get your pet it is a good idea to spay/neuter him or her. This will help to ensure that there are less homeless puppies and kittens in the future. Some breeders and shelters spay/neuter (as well as give needed vaccines) to your pet before you buy or adopt.
