Affect the Life of a Shelter Dog This October

You’ll be able to be a dog’s superhero this month-October is Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog Month! You have the ability to affect the life of a shelter dog by welcoming a new fur-baby into the family. The American Humane Society first established October as the national puppy-loving month to assist in excess of seven million animals currently in shelters seeking fur-ever homes.

If you’re not convinced that adopting from a shelter is the approach to find the perfect pooch, we’ve done the investigation to change your mind.

Affect the Life of a Shelter Dog This October

Don’t frequent a pet store when it’s easier than ever to adopt a fur-baby from a shelter or rescue – over 50% of dogs and cats in shelters will never be adopted-save a life and support future animal rescue efforts. Also, don’t believe the misconception that shelter dogs have behavioral issues, the Humane Society reported that a majority of shelters are 25-30 percent purebreds! If there is a certain breed of dog you are interested in, search the breed rescue groups in your area too.

In the event the landlord says no pets allowed, maybe it’s time for you to purchase your own home where you make your own rules. About three-fourths of Americans in their 30s own a dog based on a recent report and millennial’s now represent the most significant demographic of home-buyers, so it’s no  surprise that first-time home-buyers add a pet to the mix when buying their first house.

After factoring in the added costs many landlords impose on rentals by way of deposits and pet fees, as it turns out owning a home could possibly be less than renting. Just imagine, you could provide your new fuzzy-faced animal his very own backyard to run around in.

Locate a shelter or rescue near you with the ASPCA’s Shelter Finder to start your search. If the search to add a pup to your family has you considering upgrading to a home to call yours, you’ve come to the right place! Nick, Cindy & Nicholas Davis with RE/MAX Premier Group are more recommended simply because we recommend what’s best for you (along with your new pet.)
