A chance to share your life with an animal and vice versa is such a special experience.
You save lives. Shelter spaces are very limited which gives them no choice but to pick which animal to euthanize. This is the sad reality.

Open your house for an additional family member, it can be a cat or a dog. They will surely love you more than what you expect.
You’ll not patronize the puppy or kitten mills. People know that cats and dog are highly popular that’s why this become an exploitation business.
