Artist's Comments

Do you want an animal companion, or do you just want to own some creature as an accessory? Adoption/rescue centers offer, on average a healthy and more socialized pet. Also, you avoid some of the risk of supporting a horrible breeding program.

Do the research before you make the promise to keep and raise an animal.

Brilliant. I could see this as some type of an ad, possibly a billboard. Great work. :clap:

Heh I agree with adopting all of my animals have been mostly adoptees except for 2 of my reptiles.

But remember there's a difference between responsible breeders and Back yard breeders and animals mills.

I worked at a shelter for months. It made me feel more than ever that shelter pets are the best. Especially pit bulls. The animals at the shelter seem so grateful for the slightest bit of attention or food, no matter how abused they had been, whereas already pampered pedigree pooches seem to be more independent and demanding. Not to say abuse is a good thing, but shelter animals actually -need- someone, they don't have a guaranteed future.

I love the little heart...

My wife and I foster cats through a pet rescue agency. Most of the animals we have coming through our house are not abused - just neglected or unwanted.

But, since we raise them till their adoption - we know their personality, their problems, what traits they have, and any medical issues that they need to address. We are able to tell the perspective adopters everything they might want to know.

You won't get THAT kind of info from a pet store.

Agreed -- and, again, if a person does the research - they'll find that difference.

Otherwise, American humane animal laws have a lot of catching up to do with Europe's standard. So the odds are better at a rescue agency.

definitely not. :)
I always tried to use the cards that you could hang on the cages to describe their personality, and even things like medical probs, bad teeth that need fixed, or if they don't get along with other dogs/cats/etc... the guys at the shelter said I shouldn't do that as it turns people off from adopting, but shouldn't they know how to care for the animal, and to keep it away from other dogs if it was used as a fighting dog and could potentially kill any dogs they already have? -_-

Our philosophy is to tell the possible future owner everything. The pets we have were already returned once -- it doesn't help at all to create a situation where the owner will likely return the animal again.

That's why I went to the animal shelter simply for a mouse. Everyone kept asking me why I didn't just go to the pet store; I told them I didn't want to support the industry.

Very well executed picture.
