there are plenty of very nice animals at an animal shelter, and they need homes. (by pets i mean cats and dogs). i know that people like puppies, and the shelters have puppies too, but why not adopt from an animal shelter instead. your saving a life, and giving it a better home than it had before. do people that buy pets from a store think that because they buy the pet than its better? i know that to adopt you pay a small fee to cover the microchipping and shots giving to the dog before. people will pay thousands of dollars for a dog. we adopted our dog from the dallas fort worth shih tzu rescue. she is so sweet. whenever someone come home, she does this little dance and she ballances on her legs and waves her paws in the air.
theres this one show called animal cops on animal planet, and it shows what people can do. i dont get how people can just let a dog or any type of animal starve or the other bad thing they do. it is true that people are looking for younger dogs, but the older ones act like puppies when they get into a new home that they know will treat them right. our dog emma, is an adult dog, and although she does have a heart problem, which she gets tired very easily, is such a nice dog. when we come home she is always so happy to see us and always give us the ‘happy dance’. even if were in the worst mood she will do it.
