Animals for adoption make beautiful friendships
If you’re looking for a pet to keep you company, you can find the perfect one by browsing the animals for adoption at your local animal shelter. Many cute animals at local shelters sit in their little cages waiting for people who might want to keep them as pets. Stray animals of all kinds end up as animals for adoption at animal shelters. Most of them are family pets that irresponsible owners have neglected or abandoned.
In the past I wanted to have only purebreds as pets and I make it a point to know about the bloodline of the animals. After visiting a shelter with my sister, my views on hybrid animals changed completely. My sister recently lost her husband and wants a pet to comfort her. I went along to give her moral support and help her choose the animal she needed. Seeing the plight of the adoptable animals at this shelter broke my heart and almost brought tears to my eyes.
I didn’t realize how irresponsible people can be with their pets. These animals for adoption need love and proper care. Here I am, spending a lot of money on my beautiful purebred cat when there are hundreds of animals that need attention. The shelter keepers told me that the number of animals at the shelter has been steadily increasing over the years. This year they are having trouble finding enough food and space for them. Most of them find their way to the shelter after the Christmas holidays. Most of them are given to spoiled children who abandon them after a few weeks.
That day at the shelter made me decide that I needed to take care of one of these poor animals for adoption. I prefer to have cats as pets because my busy schedule doesn’t give me time to take proper care of a dog. While I was looking at the animals, a playful kitten came up to me and meowed. I immediately fell in love with her. Later that night, while I was watching her play with a ball, she looked up and meowed at me again. I can’t help but smile knowing I made the right decision.
If only I had known that there were so many adoptable animals waiting to become part of a family, I would have adopted one sooner. Maybe next year I can add another cat to my family. I hope more people will consider helping these adoptable animals by taking them into their homes and giving them the love and attention they need. I also hope that people take better care of their pets so that the poor animals don’t end up in sad animal shelters.
