I am making this thread to spread awareness about pet adoption.
If you are not into that either read it through and maybe have a change of heart or not. I would like to speak my mind anyhow :) :)
First of all if you save an innocent animals life that will feel good and the feeling will follow you for your entire life which you share with that anima. Every time you see your pet playing, eating, sleeping..
Second, it is cheaper than buying your pet. Plus you make sure that the pet acutally got the needed vaccinations, chip and etc because shelters actually care about animals. Othewise no one would be working there.
You will inspire others to adopt and start a chain of adoption.
If you would like to learn more you should check out these sites and animal shelter statistics:
