"Open the doors to a dog rescued and teach your family the compassion and empathy."
This article was originally written by Kate Parker.
Scooter used to live in a garage. Buddy was found in a shelter in the rural area of North Georgia. Now, both live with me, my husband and our two lovely daughters on the outskirts of Atlanta. Our dogs are our family. And as I write this, the two of you are beside me on the bed.
Lucky me, lucky for them!
We do not like to think about in the two years that Scooter is not step with us, nor in the 6 months of Buddy, but we can realize, as this affection. Buddy didn't know to walk up and down the stairs. After three years of living with us, Scooter is still anxious about the food, fight for it and even steals it. These little things are nothing compared to all the joys that give us and how happy they are.
Then I give you 10 reasons why you should consider adopting a dog rescued.
1. You can feel good about yourself
who doesn't like to think that made the difference? To save a life? As if that were not enough, a dog gives you much joy and a sense of purpose in life.
2. By adopting a rescue dog you'll be saving money to rescue a dog, in most cases, it will be cheaper than choosing from a pet store. In addition, most are already sterilized and with his or her immunizations up to date.
3. You are taking an attitude against the catteries breeders of dogs are horrible and cruel. It might sound exaggerated on my part, but here I deliver a more objective data. According to ASPCA (an association against the breeding of animals), these dogs do that cross with different races and you are giving priority to certain physical traits, to make them for you. The result is generations of dogs with genetic defects.
4. You are going to experience a lot of love these dogs understand, to some extent, that we adopt a situation not so ideal. And they like to pay for all the days with unconditional love.
5. They are adorable!In accordance with the little girl of six years of the photo (my daughter), "the dogs rescued are comfortable and do silly things." Of course, doing silly things, it means eat your glasses.
6. Because they all deserve a home This phrase is my eldest daughter, the small with risado of the photo. They wished with all their energies to keep dogs, and by the way, believes that every living thing that is has to come home with us.
7. You will become a superhero
2.7 millions of dogs are euthanized each year in shelters. Save a life, and get a new best friend.
8. With a little bit of love and care, you can change a life
our dogs lived a very bad situation before being adopted. Now sleeps in our bed, go to the dog park, dan walking, receive hugs and kisses on a daily basis.
9. If you have children, you are giving an excellent example the puppies are very sweet, and of course, anyone would want to take home to be able to hug him forever. But, what happens to the older dogs? Those who have more difficulty finding home? Open the doors to a dog rescued and teach your children compassion and empathy.
10. The proof is in the photos… Adopt them is really wonderful
