Adopt, Don't Shop!
Adopting a dog from a shelter has benefits over buying a dog from a breeder, no matter how reputable. There’s ups and downs to both options, but with 5-7 million pets being surrendered to shelters in the U.S. each year and 60% of them ending up euthanized, adopting is a much better idea. Plus, there’s no better feeling than taking a dog out of a shelter for good!
