The holidays are approaching... ...and that means families may be looking for a new addition to their family in the form of a cuddly canine or fuzzy feline. Many may go to breeders looking for that "perfect pooch" but forget about all the wonderful dogs kept in cages at shelters. As breeders breed more animals to make profit, the animals in shelters are neglected, resulting in large numbers of animals being put down. Many people look to breeders to purchase pets because they want that perfect, well-behaved, beautiful pet. Yet animals in shelters may be just as cute—and perhaps even more loving (not to mention the drastic difference in cost). Another option besides adoption is fostering. Through foster programs, people can make an animal happy and have that cuddle buddy or play buddy but without the long-term responsibility. Especially after the holidays, when dogs are ruturned to shelters or let out onto the streets after people decide they do 't want them, fostering becomes important to shelters in making sure each dog is cared for. So whether you adopt, or foster, or support a shelter, you are helping improve the lives of thousands of furry creatures. Don't buy from a breeder. Give a shelter animal a chance. #adoptnotshop. Visit the website of your local humane society or shelter for more information. If you live in the bay area, here is the link for the Humane Society od Silicon Valley: sweet dreams. xoxo, s.k.j.
