Thinking about a dog from a shelter?
Here are a few reasons why adopting a shelter dog is the right choice!
Find a dogSaving life
By adopting a dog from a shelter, you will not only gain a new companion, but you will also save a life. In addition to providing a happy home for one furry friend, you will also free up space for another one who needs help. In this way, you have a direct impact on saving lives and support the activities of shelters.
Large selection
Shelters are full of dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. With this variety, you can find the dog that best suits your lifestyle and needs. Whether you're looking for a high-energy puppy, a kid-friendly dog, or a calmer adult, you're sure to find your ideal furry friend at a shelter.
Supporting responsible breeding
Choosing to adopt a dog from a shelter instead of buying from unverified breeders helps reduce the demand for dogs from illegal breeders, where dogs often live in cruel and inhumane conditions. By adopting a dog from a shelter, you are directly helping to eliminate the reasons that lead to overcrowded shelters and animal suffering.
A loyal friend and a good deed
Do you want the best partner in life? A shelter dog will love you for your love and the safety of home. Adopting a dog from a shelter is a good deed with a positive impact not only on your life or the life of your furry friend, but also on the lives of people in shelters and other stray dogs.
Health status
One of the main advantages is access to detailed information about the dog's health. Shelters know the dog's current health status and usually its history. This way, you will have all the important information about the dog's health needs, such as vaccinations, castration, disabilities, and other medical requirements, before adopting.
Reducing shelter overcrowding
Every dog adopted from a shelter frees up space for another animal in need. Shelters are often overcrowded and do not have the capacity to take in more animals. Shelter workers are often overwhelmed and face various systemic obstacles. By adopting, you will help shelters free up capacity and increase the chances of saving more animals.
Contributing to a better society
Adopting a dog changes the world for the better in many ways. Your new dog will bring a lot of joy and love into your life. By adopting a dog, you also inspire other people to adopt instead of buying a dog. You also help shelters save more dogs and contribute to reducing illegal breeding and dog trade.
