Just stopped for a rest

Pet adoption is taking responsibility over an animal that has been put forward for adoption due to experience of abuse, violence, neglect and many other reasons. with previous owners. With pet adoption, animals are given the chance to find an appropriate, caring and permanent home. Apart from this humane chance we’re giving to man’s best friend, there are also benefits from adopting animals.

The Humane Society of the United States estimates an whopping 8 to 10 million cats and dogs that enter shelters annually. From these numbers, there is estimated 4 to 5 million of pets euthanized in shelters. The number of strays that die due to starvation are not included in that figure.

With these deplorable figures, pet adoption is a great way to rescue a life of a dispossessed animal. Animal euthanasia is being carried out because there are too many people abandoning their pets and too few people adopting from shelters. There is limited space in shelters, and euthanasia is a very hard decision to make by staff members to make way for new animals pouring into their doors.

Animals in shelter dying by euthanasia can be dramatically reduced by adopting pets in shelters rather than buying them in pet stores. By adopting an animal from shelters, other animals can be saved and rescued elsewhere and provided with a home.

Animal shelters, unlike what pet adoption myths say, have mainly healthy animals. Shelters often get as much information from previous owners to determine what sort of vaccination has already been given. Apart from medical aid investigation, shelters also provide the necessary vaccination and many spay or neuter the animals before allowing them to be adopted.

Worrying about the temperament or behaviour of the animals is also not a big issue. Unlike the common misconception that animals are taken into shelters because of behaviour problems, personal reasons by the owner themselves are the more usual factors.

Everybody knows that having pets have genuine benefits.

One study actually proved that with a little than 10 minutes, a pet can lower blood pressure in it’s owner significantly.

Not only do sick and elderly people benefit from pets. Children exposed to pets during their first year of life have a lower frequency of asthma and allergies.

Pet owners who have undergone surgery even have lower recovery time. There is even a study saying that heart attack patients who own pets have longer life expectancy than those who do not. There is even a study saying that pets decrease heart attack mortality rates by about 3 percent which is roughly 30,0000 lives annually. HIV/AIDS victims who have pets also report less depression and reduced stress levels.

The love and care that pet parents provide to their pets is indeed reciprocated. Apart from humane and health benefits that pet adoption can give, it is also a great way of saving money.
