The Thought Of Owning Or Bringing Home A Cute Adorable

“Approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats” (Pet Statistics). Many animals are rescued and taken to shelters all around the United States. These shelters provide all the resources and take care of the animals until they are well or adopted. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or ASPCA, is a non-profitable organization that is dedicated to preventing animal cruelty. You should donate money to the ASPCA or even adopt a pet if able to because it provides money to the animals to give them the necessities they need, it supports the animals that have been poorly treated, and it helps get animals out of poor

Pet owner’s need to be aware of the responsibility it is to be a proper pet owner. Domestic animal do not only need their love and attention they require regular visit to the veterinarians where they can take proper precautions for unwanted pregnancies. Every day there are 70,000 puppies and cats that are born there is not enough homes for all these pets.(Harvey,Alyssa) Animal shelters have endorsed sterilization ensuring pet owners that sterilizing a pet is less expensive than the cost of a litter of puppies or kittens. In Hidalgo County I found a clinic that has received a $90,000 grant from PetSmart Charities to spay/neuter to help reduce pet overpopulation. The program offers

Imagine walking into an animal shelter, seeing the dogs and cats locked up behind bars wanting to be adopted. At an animal shelter, homeless animals are continuously looking for a home everywhere. An animal shelter in Ohio is CHA animal shelter, they are a nonprofit organization. They provide temporary care and shelter for cats and dogs and try their best to find them a loving home. Also, they provide surgery to spay or neuter the animal, and give the animal it’s required shots. Adding to, they provide an implanted microchip so the owner can track their animal if it is ever lost. CHA animal shelter has also provided a public website to view pictures of the cats and dogs and a brief background on the animal. They also have an option for donations for emergency situations, food, and supply, etc. The fact that they offer donations is remarkable because some individuals do not want to adopt a pet, but want to be apart of promoting adoption and give support to the organization. Not only does the organization try to make the pet’s life the best at the animal shelter, but CHA also hosts events to get people’s interest and gives the animals time out of the cage. I have adopted a dog from an animal shelter and it has been the best decision ever. Knowing I saved animals live brought more joy and love into my life, and nevertheless, he is the best little jack russel ever. Although I could have got a puppy from Petland, the choice of adopting a dog not only saved me money but also allowed me to save his life as well and improve his quality of life. An individual who adopts a pet is rescuing it from neglect and is giving that precise animal a second chance. In conclusion, I believe that CHA animal shelter is the best place to adopt a pet because it is less expensive than buying an animal from a pet store, it decreases puppy mills, and the individual can pick a dog or cat of any age.

Animals that enter shelters are either lost pets that don’t have ID tags or microchips or stray and feral animals who have never known the love of a human.

The facility has not had to euthanize a healthy dog due to lack of space for several years. Programs have been developed such as the “special needs fund,” which allows for expensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and adoption for many dogs who may not of had that opportunity in previous years. However, cats provide additional challenges due to overpopulation issues. Last year approximately 800 treatable-rehabilitable/manageable cats had to be euthanized. However, programs such as the trap/neuter/release program, foster care in private homes, PetSmart and veterinary clinic housing/adoptions, and free cat adoption incentives greatly reduced the overwhelming difficulties with housing/adopting cats (Nebraska Humane Society, 2014).

An animal shelter is a place where stray, lost, abandoned, or surrendered animals, mostly dogs and cats and sometimes sick or wounded wildlife, are brought. Animal shelters are essential in the United States because of inattentive pet proprietorship and uncontrolled breeding of animals. People often get pets without a full understanding of the time, money, and space that they require. Regrettably, that recurrently results in pets being abandoned or abused by these owners. Apart from accountable breeders, owners should spay or neuter their pets to stop the serious overpopulation problem, which is happening in the United States. Shelters do not treat or stop the problem of unwanted pets but without them the stray pet population would be astronomical. There would be more problems with disease spread and an increased incidence of stray animal-induced injuries. A shelter should also be a domicile where animals could be benign and feel loved and taken care of; not just a drop off. The shelter in my community tries to do their best with their animals, but I feel that the shelter needs to be able to do their jobs better and for the animals to feel comfortable.

Later, most will end up "Testing Out" a different type of pet. The vast majority of people, who adopt a puppy or kitten, do not keep the animal for life. If this were to turn around and most people were to actually keep their pets through the good times and the bad, as they do their own children, the demand for these animals would go down. With less of a demand, breeders would not breed as many litters. Breeders are only breeding as many litters as they do, because people are buying them. The demand for a cute little puppy or kitten is great, because people do not keep the animal for life. Animals are recycled. If a breeder had a litter and could not sell the puppies, they would not keep having litter after litter. People are buying them, so breeders are breeding them. In a perfect world, breeders would breed less and force people to adopt from an animal rescue, but this is not a perfect world. The solution lies with the general public educating themselves, supply and demand, that's the solution. Lessen the demand and the supply will, on its own, lessen. The power lies within each and every one of us. Scripted by Kim Sturla (of the San Mateo ordinance fame) and her continual cross-country junketing preaching her message: "The problem is simple: we have too many dogs and cats. Too many for too few homes."

The North Shore Animal League will first discuss animal rights and how animal abuse and homelessness is at an all-time high today among animals. There will also be various pictures and statistics shown to offer the audience insight on which dog and cat breeds are the most abused and homeless. For example, due to their small size and temperament with people Chihuahuas are among one of the most abused and homeless dog breeds. The organization will then discuss their plan to remedy the issue of animal abuse and homelessness by opening up animal shelters in urban areas in Staten Island and Brooklyn to lower animal abuse and homelessness. These shelters will provide the animal’s food, water, and medicine, which are the main necessities for them to survive. By opening these new shelters, it will ensure the animal’s safety and well-being until people are ready to adopt and bring them home.

The majority of the dogs she finds are usually outside roaming or abandoned. Faye isn't just fighting to give dogs a second chance at life, she wants all animals that get put with Animal Control to have a second chance. She also has re-homed about 20 kittens. Faye has become a outstanding help to the community and across the world. It would make you feel like no one likes you, or wants to keep you. That feeling is never good. Leaving a pet on the street is like leaving a child on the street. About 7.6 million abandoned pets enter the animal shelters every year, 3.9 million are dogs and 3.6 million are cats. According to prime.peta.org, “one study showed that more than half of the people surrendering animals because of moving also report behavior problems. Pet abandonment has been a very big problem throughout the years.” “Pets have to be flown into another state to get to a shelter that is not full.” The reason for the shelters being full is because of pet abandonment. Most pets are getting put down due to the shelters being full. Pet abandonment has got to be put to a stop. According to www.animal-rights-action.com, “the law states that in the UK, dogs and cats should not be put to death until they have been at the pound for seven days.” “In the US it

Well, luckily, there are shelters in different places that help animals that aren’t able to take care of themselves. Did you know that every year 3.3 million dogs and 3.2 million cats enter animal shelters in U.S.? If you think that figure was huge, now imagine around 1.5 million of them are being euthanized every year because the shelter doesn’t have enough money or volunteers (ASPCA) to take care of them. However, this number can be significantly reduced if we start to make a change. With my speech, I would like to persuade you to from now on look for pets in a shelter instead of a pet store. In order to do this, I will provide information about the differences between shelters and pet stores, reasons to adopt a pet, and how to do it.

They have ways for people to get involved with not only the shelter but also the animals in need of homes. By using adorable pictures of puppies and kittens they get people to pick up the handout.

Its communication technique is through pictures aided with stories. Doing this helps the reader realize that these experiences happen to real pets and people.

The bulletin reaches people who know little about animals but want to learn and adopt an animal

Countless lives locked away in cages and forgotten about have overwhelmed our society, it has left blood stains on our history as a species and if history has taught us anything, it’s that we have a choice to change our ways of adjusting to situations. A war which was fought in pursuit of ending such criminal means, yet we as human beings do little to nothing to end the horrific crimes of animal deaths in shelters. It is no secret that this world has become infused with problems that have extended from one side of the globe to the other. Amongst these problems lies a terrible truth: nearly every year, sums of almost eight million cats and dogs have been placed in shelters around the world. Out of these vast numbers, half will be

Most animals that go to shelters have been abandoned for a while. This leaves the pets ungroomed and with parasites and bugs. If they got cleaned up they would look and feel better and then be more likely to get adopted. Best Friends Animal Society spays and neuters the animals that come into their shelter and they promote other shelters to do the same. According to CNN news writer, Christopher Dawson, there are many ways to make an impact on homeless pets. Some ways to increase the chance of adoption are fostering pets, volunteering, and sharing to social media. When a person fosters an animal, it gives that animal experience of living in a house for the first time or again. This leaves a spot open to the shelters and they can help another

Secondly, there are already lots of pets in animal shelters. According to Kristin Lewis she states that” Animal rights groups points to the thousands of shelters overflowing with dogs and cats in need of homes.” What that is trying to say is that why not save money and go get an animal from one of the thousands of shelters

With any six year old, getting a puppy is the best time of a kids life. Going to the shelter or pet store and seeing a puppy jump up and want to be petted and played with fills you with a kind of joy like nothing else has in your short life. Well, that’s how I felt. In 2005, I got my first puppy. We went from building to building, looking at different dogs. Some places we stayed to play, and others we left immediately. The size of the cages was practically nonexistent and the smell of feces was overpowering. Unlike the naturally playful nature of puppies, the ones at the stores were subdued, almost as if they were drugged. Little did I know, we left those places because my parents suspected they were being filled by puppy mills. Finally, we got a beagle from a shelter who was picked up as a stray. Beautiful, tri-colored, and purebred, we named our new puppy Bailey. What we still didn’t know is she had a disease that killed puppies that are kept in close proximity to an infected dog. Our beautiful, loving puppy had parvovirus. However, she beat the odds and survived! Our carpets, on the other hand, did not. She lived a long, happy life running through our neighborhood with my brother and I. There is an everlasting battle between adopting animals through commercial breeding or through shelters causing a longstanding ethical debate on which method should be chosen. Companion animals such as dogs, cats, and small animals should be adopted from animals shelters rather than
