Our guide to animal adoption; learn why, where, and how to prepare to adopt a cat, kitten, dog or puppy from an animal shelter or rescue group.
Shelter pets need our help.
It is estimated that 1.5 million family pets are euthanized every year across the united states. Pets are typically put to sleep by a sedative and then then Phentyion/pentobarbital. Euthanasia means "good death." A term largely misused in shelter medicine. Many of these animals are not sick or even old, they are simply unwanted. The most common reason why pets are killed at shelters is behavioral problems and lack of space. Many pets can live 10 to 20 years a commitment which many individuals fail to provide. Many of the reasons include moving, lack of time, new family members, and the list goes on. How do we recitfy this? Life has many changes. If one can not commit to these terms then simply do not adopt. Instead volunteer at a local animal shelter where you can provide necessary and meaningful companionship without taking on another dependent if one is unable to do so.

My Ex Brought Home a Dog..
“I’m trying to keep it together, I’m sure he’ll be walking in the door any second... pacing back and forth I wag my tail and sniff around; Running towards the window I thought I heard keys...No, well I’ll just lay here on the sofa with my leash.”

Coping with Grief After Losing a Dog
I remember the day I adopted her like it was yesterday. I went to the shelter looking for a small dog to keep me company, and there she was - a scrappy little mutt with a crooked tail and a huge personality. As soon as I saw her, I knew she was the one. And when I picked her up, she licked my face and snuggled into my arms like she'd been waiting for me her whole life.

LEMMINGS
Once upon a time, in the remote and snowy lands of the Arctic Circle, there was a tribe of lemmings who lived in harmony with nature. They were small and cute rodents, with soft fur and big round eyes, and they spent their days hopping and scurrying around the rocks and bushes, searching for food and playing with each other.
