Pet Adoption - Marriage

http://www.theshelterpetproject.org

Of the eight million pets that enter animal shelters and rescue groups every year, approximately three million of these healthy and treatable pets are euthanized due to a lack of adoption. While there has been steady progress on the issue, the continued euthanasia of our best friends and family members is a national tragedy.

Adopting a pet is a life-changing and enriching experience. It not only saves an animal's life, but adopted pets also provide unconditional love, affection and attention. Research has even shown that owning a pet has many positive psychological and physical health benefits.

Presently, most people do not obtain their pets from shelters, but rather from pet stores, the Internet, friends, breeders or other sources. In an effort to change this trend, The Shelter Pet Project is designed to encourage pet lovers throughout the country to make shelters and rescue groups the first place they turn to when acquiring companion animals. Campaign ads use humor to give shelter pets a voice and break down negative stereotypes; contrary to popular beliefs, animals most frequently find themselves in shelters due to owner-related issues.

At the http://www.theshelterpetproject.org users will find information about how to adopt from a shelter, as well as a fun matching tool designed to help potential pet owners identify traits to look for in an animal. Based on results, it will even supply a list of suitable pets avilable in local shelters. Other fun and interactive tools are also available, all in an effort to significantly increase the rate of pet adoption.

I would NOT associate with someone who does not like dogs.

I thought that was sad D:

[JellybeanInc]

If any guy that comes into my life doesn't like the pet I own at the time (be it cat, dog, fish, pig) then he can either suck it up or walk right back out that door; my pet was here first.

@Juliaflo Wholeheartedly agree.

Who the hell gets rid of their pet because they get married?! So much for your best friend forever...if you can't even share your love with a doggy and your wife/girlfriend you hould NOT be starting a family!

[CelesteK]

If he doesn't like the dog then that's his business but if I had to choose between my husband and my dog the dog would win everytime. :)

[Fantageous]

oh geez! sad! I would have nothing to do with that guy! I'd ostracize his evil wife too, for supporting his irresponsibility.

That puppy looks a lot like my dog Pepper. And I'd toss that guy right out on his ass the first time I caught him giving my dog the stink eye. Love me, love my dog.

Who wanted to drop-kick that husband into next year?? Love me - love my pets.
