As we all know, times are tough right now and money is hard to come by. People are finding themselves having to cut many costs in their life due to this economy. One of the costs people are cutting is pets. The number of animals in shelters has gone up moderately fast since the downfall in the economy. People are taking their long time friends to shelters, and many animals are being put out on the street. Every year, about 8 million dogs and cats are killed because there aren't enough homes for them, and our country has over 50,000 homeless animals. I know that times are tough and it is hard to keep up financially for many people these days, but I am truly heartbroken over how many animals are being thrown out of their homes and set out to defend for themselves. Animals, just like humans have basic needs that need to be met. They need food, shelter, but most of all they need love.
Reasons to adopt a homeless animal:
1. The difference you will make in an animals life.
2. The happiness and loyalty an animal will bring into your life.
3. A workout buddy. Having a dog is a great way to stay healthy and fit. You will never run out of a workout buddy!
4. Having a best friend by your side 24/7.
5. Someone to tell your deepest secrets to.
6. Because an animal will never judge you. No matter what.
7. Because animals are ADORABLE.
