Plus, adopting is cheaper guys. You save on the initial cost and most shelter dogs are already spayed/neutered and vaccinated, so that's a win in my book.

Adoption changed my life! I met the most amazing community of people at the dog park - all with adopted dogs! These pups have such unique personalities and they're so grateful for a second chance. Y'all thinking of getting a dog, swing by the shelter, not the breeder.

Well-said. I've brought home three generations of rescues over the years and nothing beats seeing them turn from scared, tail-tucking pooches to confident, happy members of your pack. Support your local shelter and adopt, folks.

lol if ur dog ain't a purebred, does it even count? jk adopt all the way 😂 shelters full of gems!

adopting is so rewarding! My rescue girl was skittish at first, now she's energetic and loves hikes. Rescues may need time but so worth it ♥️

Great reminder! Adoption really does save lives and it’s a tragedy that puppy mills still operate. There’s a law coming up for vote that could shut down these horrible places in our state. Everyone, please read up on it and call your reps! Together, we can make a difference for these animals.

I'm totally with you on adopt don't shop! We rescued our boy from a high-kill shelter 2 years back and my family couldn't be happier. It breaks my heart seeing those cages filled... imagine being picked to die just cuz no one fancied u that day... adoption is the way guys, seriously.
