When you adopt a dog they become apart of your family, you would never do anything to this dog to hurt it or make it feel not loved. Because they’re family so why would you? Unfortunately there are people out there who leave dogs behind or just abandon them on the street because they are ‘too old’. Dogs go through a lot of pain and suffering that a lot of people don’t know about. Hopefully this can open up some eyes. Stray dogs are everywhere, you see them running into traffic or in a park. This has been a huge issue for years and probably will always be one. When dogs do get abandoned they have to adjust their life in order to survive. Stray dog’s can live anywhere. According to wildlife animal control “underside of decks and porches ideal areas for a stray dog to live.” They will even eat anything that has a food scent on it like plastic. Stray dog’s behavior will be completely changed from when they were a full time pet. Some strays become aggressive and very protective of themselves since they were just abandoned, they usually do so they can become the pack leader or so people stay away from them. Stray’s will also become very vulnerable and afraid even more than they were before. Have you ever walked past a stray and it started growling or barking at you? That’s them trying to protect themselves so you won’t hurt them like others have done in the past. If this ever happens just remember they're probably more scared of you then you are of them.
In 2000, 68 million dogs were owned in the United States. In 2017, a total of around 89.7 million dogs in the United States alone, lived in a household. As the years past more and more people are adopting dogs. Some of those owners are new to having a pet and should learn how to take care of them.
Every dog is a responsibility, and it takes a kind hearted person to go through the process of adoption. Through shelters it’s about an hour process to adopt. They ask for your current pets (if there is any) vet, the phone number of the vet, every one who lives in the house phone number, so they can call and see if they are okay with having a new furry friend in the house. They give scenarios that could possibly happen with a new puppy in the house for example, what do you do if the puppy is digging in the yard? Or what do you do if the mailman comes to the door and the dog starts barking? The process is long but it is worth it. The shelters even off puppy training classes that’ll teach them household manners, which includes potty training, leash training so that they will be able to go on walks without having to wear a harness. You get so much out of adoption that you don’t get from pet stores that will not offer. With my new adoption I was offered classes for him. Puppy classes, intermediate, therapy dogs, than k9 classes.
The National Service Animal Registry defines an emotional support animal as, “ a person's pet that has been prescribed by a person's licensed therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist,”they state that “The animal is part of the treatment program for this person and is designed to bring comfort and minimize the negative symptoms of the person's emotional/psychological disability,” (All About). Emotional support animals have a huge list of responsibilities they can take on and learn to help their owner. These animals require minimal training and their jobs are specifically tailored to what their owner needs to maintain their mental health. Still these animals have less rights than service animals. Still, they have laws protecting them and their owners. My brother and I each have our own emotional support animals that provide us with their multiple skills that help keep us mentally safe.

Introduction: Today I will persuading my audience the benefits of getting a dog as a pet. Dogs can offer companionship, protection and even improve your health.

This organization is the largest registry of certified dog breeds. This canine organization recognizes three hundred and thirty nine breeds of dogs which are classified into ten groups based on the dog’s function or size. There are various unique breeds that can fit into one’s specific lifestyle, giving no excuse not to have a dog to compliment ones personality.
Specific Purpose: To persuade my students to volunteer and train a dog for 4 Paws University
This is a very hard and awful situation for the dog because they are domestic animals. This means that their survival skills are poor and they are almost completely helpless on their own. They are bound to die from starvation, overexposure, or get hit by a car. For the dogs that do not end up being killed, many shelters will take the dogs in, but many of them are overcrowded. The stray dogs that are brought in to local shelters can only stay for a short period of time because of the amount of dogs they are able to take in. In the end, most of the dogs end up not being bought because for every ten dogs in need of a home, only one person will be willing to. It can also cause emotional trauma for the owners when they find out all of the diseases of the dog and have to put the dog

Run there's a Pitbull chasing us run, run, run! Many people love Pitbull's many people hate1 Pitbull's. I am one of the few that dislike the breed. 3 of the reason I don’t Pitbull's is because they could turn on you. My second reason I dislike Pitbull's is because they are very mean. Finally if you hate pitbulls like me I advise you live in Miami Dade County they have a ban on Pitbull.
More times than not- pit bulls are falsely seen as cruel, ferocious, blood thirsty animals. The media is partially to blame for evoking all of this fear and anxiety. All I can say is, own one before you judge one! I have been a proud owner of two pit bulls for over eight years now and I have nothing but fun, loving times to report about these cuddling beasts.
Abandoned, vulnerable, and rejected. These are three words that can describe this problem perfectly. Dogs all around the world are left, dropped, and just flat out abandoned every day. Usually, there is no rhyme or reason to why these dogs get this type of terrible treatment. Can you imagine deliberately leaving a family member behind when you moved?
Imagine seeing a man bumping into a wall over and over again? Imagine a man walking across the road without looking? What if there was another way?
