For every person that is born, 15 dogs and 45 cats are also born. In order to keep up with the current flood of puppies and kittens, every person would have to own 2 dogs and 6 catss during their entire lifetime (assuming that people live for 75 yrs and dogs and cats for 10). A household of 5 would have to harbor 10 dogs and 30 cats!
Tomorrow is my first day volunteering at the local animal shelter. I love animals and am so excited to be able to help out and try to find these animals loving homes. I truly believe in adoption rather than buying from breeders. To each his own, but I have found that some of the sweetest dogs and cats have already been born and are waiting for a loving home. Too many good animals are killed every month because they are not adopted. This is so sad to me. How would we feel if this was children? What if a child only had a few months to be adopted? Wouldn't you want to do something about it? Please consider adoption next time you are looking for a pet.
Thanks
