Pet adoption vs. buying a puppy or kitten
By Kristina Porter
Many of us as children always wanted a puppy or kitten. We would beg our parents for one, take home the stray dog or cat when happened upon. Most people do not understand the dilema our current pet population is in. Due to over population, many animal shelters are full of abandoned and unwanted pets. Our local shelter is a no kill shelter and they take on 300 dogs a month to 600 cats and kittens. Since they are no kill there is only an opening available to take in a pet when one has been adopted out. The shelters are understaffed, and running off minimum funding. What makes things worse is people that do adopt animals are often looking for a puppy or kitten, and not an adult dog with issues from previous abandonment or abuse. Eventually, the unclaimed pets at these shelters find their way back into the kill shelters where they are given 60 days to be adopted out or be euthanized.
