No-kill shelter

from a shelter because we saved them from the lonely, tiny cages that they were forced to live in day in and day out. As we were looking for the most recent additions, I grew tired of looking in shelters, not because it was time consuming finding the right one, but because of all the sad faces that stared back at me from the cages. Adopting and rescuing is the better option when it comes to adding a pet to the family.

My love for animals had begun when I was a mere four years old. I’ve always had pets: dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and much more.

It is said that present laws have begun a revolutionary outlook on the way humans treat animals; however, it is misplaced that a revolution to conserve animals’ lives has truly done just that. In the present age group, named Generation Peter Pan, a ‘trend’ of ending the reckless ‘murdering’ of animals has been birthed to battle against cruelty-

Animal Euthanasia "Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.” This was said by Alfred A. Montapert the author of many inspirational novels.

animals come to shelters and rescues throughout the United States (Lea). Whether a stray or a pet being given up, workers and volunteers from these animal shelters and rescues work hard to make sure that each and every animal they encounter is guaranteed the proper amount of time and care.
