Some of the tops reasons to adopt a shelter pet include:
- The Humane Society has all types of pets: Mixed breeds, purebreds, rabbits, birds and ferrets... pets are checked and healthy, ready for their new homes.
- You save money. Shelter pets are far less expensive than those you would find at a pet store or a breeder and they are all spayed and neutered and microchipped before they go home with you.
- Shelter pets make wonderful companions. Some animals have never had a home, others were abandoned or surrendered by their previous owners. Some are the victims of divorce, illness, allergies, a new baby, inexperienced owners, a move that didn't include them, and many other reasons.
