Reasons to adopt
- You’re saving a life. Previously, the dogs and cats on Only Rescues may have been abused, abandoned, or had to fend for themselves on the streets. By adopting, you are giving your pet a safe and loving home where it can learn to be happy and healthy again.
- You won’t be supporting unethical breeders. Some breeders follow the law, many don’t. Countless pets are forced to breed as often as possible and kept under cruel conditions in puppy farms. It’s hard to be 100% confident that your pet has come from an ethical breeder. By adopting, you’re avoiding unethical breeders and supporting animal welfare too. With thousands of pets in shelters, why breed new ones until these have homes?
- You gain the advantages of an adult pet. You’re likely to know more about its character and behaviour. Your pet is also likely to already know some basic commands or be housetrained, making your life easier when you bring your pet home. Your pet will be neutered, and health checked. That’s not to say there aren’t puppies and kittens in shelters, and purebreds too.
- You get the lifetime support of the shelter. No one knows more about the pet you are adopting than the people working at the shelter each day, providing care and support for them. They will be able to assist you with the move and help you carry on any training or behaviour work.
- Supporting charities and rehoming centres. These shelters are providing a valuable service to the animals in their care, so by adopting one, you’re also contributing to the ongoing care of the animals left at the shelter.
