Every year, around 5.8 million dogs and cats get dumped globally, of which,597,000 dogs and cats get put down. At our local Humane Society, there are tons of dogs and cats waiting to go home.
I went to the humane society in hopes of getting some volunteer work in, and I was speechless at what I saw. All these sweet babies need a home and were yearning for the love of someone. At the bottom of this page we have (in order), Zebra, Gizmo, Monkey, Honey, Amos, Grimm, Nissan, Valkyrie, Celery and Squash. I want to spread awareness for these poor puppies and kitties, as they deserve a happy home as much as a pure bred border collie, or a pure bred bangle cat.
It is illegal in Washington State to dump animals, yet, unsurprisingly, people still do it everyday. It’s such a sad thing for these poor animals. So please, save them all; don't let them experience life without a forever home and let these babies finally find happiness. Even if you don’t want to keep them forever, you’re welcome to foster them for a little bit, and see if you’re ready for the commitment of an animal, or even just to help a baby get a forever home. By choosing to adopt or foster, you’re helping an animal from being killed from overpopulation. even helping any loneliness you or family has, as well as spending less money by adopting. If you adopt a senior dog, it’s likely they have been house trained, and you skip the phase of trying to teach a puppy new things.
So if you need or want a dog, please look into adopting at a local animal shelter, because you could be saving more than one life by adopting, and inspiring others around you to also adopt.
