Getting a Dog?: Try Adoption!

Thinking about getting a dog or cat??

Consider adopting them from your local humane society. These animals are looking for a loving home and would love to be the special companions in your life. You have the one-on-one love and attention they are looking for : )

I adopted my maltese, Angel, who was rescued from a puppy mill. I've had her for about 6 months now and I love her so much! She loves me too, because she follows me in my house EVERYWHERE,lol.

[ssips720]

how did you manage taking care of it with going to class and doing work?

thats my problem..

i want to adopt a dog but i'd feel so bad if i had to leave him alone, ya no?

I think I'm going to get a dog from the shelter this April. I'd really like to get an older one, I have one in mind that was saved from being euthanized by a shelter, and one that's getting euthanized in three days :'( I feel soooo guilty that we didn't get it but I'm not sure if I'm ready for a dog. I'm mostly worried about the dog dying which will create so much mysery and guilt for my family. We would take good care of it... But what if it dies in our care from previous expreiences?

I adopted my dog from the animal shelter too. I don't think I'll ever get a dog from anywhere else.

This is awesome. Both of my 2 dogs are rescues. They make the best companions. I only wish more people support these wonderful no kill places like humane society or rescue groups. From now on I will only adopt from the shelter too. Best way to go.

I have always adored dogs :) it is such a rewarding feeling and they make amazing companions :) I have never owned a purebred dogs only mutts for me! :)

[cutiegirls4ever]

if only the lined up for mutts and the big doggies :( ... dont buy from pet stores if you

do buy aimals (products dont matter) from a pet store you support animal cruelty!!!

and feed your dog raw food not that kibble and canned crap. blue dog food is not

good either thay kill the nutrients and thehealthy stuff!!!
