The Joys Of Pet Adoption

Many potential pet owners are not aware of how many pets are available at shelters

. They might also have the misconception that pets are shelters might be there because there was a problem with the animal. In some cases animals are lost and never found by their owners. These animals are healthy and very eager to please. This is what Peter Cennamo discovered when he adopted his firat dog.

Some people are seeking purebred animals or puppies and think these are not available in shelters. According to Peter Cennamo this is a misconception. In fact, nearly a quarter of all animals in shelters are purebred. Often someone buys an expensive purebred animal and then attempts to breed that animal to recoup their money. If these puppies or kittens are not placed in homes, and end up in the shelter.

Often, potential pet owners are looking for a kitten or puppy, but when an owner adopts an adult animal, they can see his/her size and temperament. Adult pets are very often housetrained and past the behavior issues associated with kittens and puppies.

Adopting a pet can be an important lesson to teach your children both about the value of life, and also about civic responsibility and even recycling. In this case recycling a living and loving animal into a new home. In America, there is an overpopulation of homeless pets. There are simply too many companion animals and not enough homes.

But you can help. One way to start putting an end to pet overpopulation is to adopt your next pet from your local shelter or breed rescue group. By doing so you immediately give a home to an animal that didn't have one, and you reduce the overall number of homeless pets out there. This is how Peter Cennamo began. You'll discover the advantages of adopting rather than buying an animal, and determine what type of pet is right for you.
