Why Pet Adoption is Important
THE IMPORTANCE OF PET ADOPTION
While it can be a joyous experience to bring a new puppy or kitten into your life, you should also consider adopting an animal from an animal rescue group. Every year in the United States 9 to 11 million animals are euthanized because they have no home. These animals are loving, trusting, affectionate, and we ask that you consider adoption over purchasing. For this reason, Judy’s Forgotten Jewells offers you the chance to take home a pet today. Whether you are looking for a young animal, a mature animal or a senior, Judy’s Forgotten Jewells makes pet adoption easy.
PET ADOPTION BENEFITS
Some people are reluctant to adopt a young or mature animal. There are many benefits to adopting that older animal. Most of the time they are crate trained and/or house trained. They are usually beyond the chewing stage and your furniture will be safe. They understand and know basic commands. They are social and get along well with others. These pets are highly trainable and will learn the name you choose to give them. They are really no different than that little puppy or kitten they started out as. They are very devoted to pleasing their new family, and will respond favorably to signs of affection.
Animals adopted from rescue groups/shelters usually have been fully vetted. They have been dewormed and are up to date on their vaccines, they have been screened for contagious diseases and if they are age appropriate have been spayed or neutered. If they are too young for surgery at the time of adoption they will be scheduled at a later date. Adopted animals help decrease both pet overpopulation and the number of euthanized animals in shelters, foster homes and rescue groups. The adoption/placement fees for these animals is much less than if you were to purchase from a breeder or pet store.
