The Humane Society has been a great resource for both adopting and great care and training information for pets. I adopted Chelsea from the Arizona Humane Society. They have a television program called Pet's on Parade on the local ABC affiliate. The feature adopt-a-pet my Chelsea. 16 people came to adopt her so they ran a lottery and I won. A family of four daughters were sitting next to me and went into melt down when they realized that they would not be adopting her. I was heart broken but was assured by the volunteers that I had won her fairly and that the shelter had many pets that needed homes. I was a great day.

Yes...everyone ADOPT! Do not purchase dogs unless it is from the Humane Society. Do not promote puppy mills.
ReplyDeleteRemember, the Humane Society also has a variety of pure-bred dogs as well as the ever lovable mutts.
