Comments on: Why Adopt A Shelter Dog? https://puppyintraining.com/why-adopt-a-shelter-dog/ Dog Lovers | Puppy Experts Sat, 26 Aug 2017 22:21:36 +0000 hourly 1 By: Sheila https://puppyintraining.com/why-adopt-a-shelter-dog/#comment-4107 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:23:34 +0000 https://puppyintraining.com/?p=2485#comment-4107 I also adopted my dog from my area shelter in Washington, DC. I previously adopted my cat from the same shelter and have loved the care and attention they give to each animal and to each prospective adopter. The Washington Animal Rescue League is a no kill shelter, so anytime I want to adopt I always choose them first so that it clears the space for more animals to be brought to a no kill shelter. I’ve read that the euthanization rates are very high at shelters. If everyone would please consider adopting from shelters maybe that rate could eventually go to zero. Both my dog and my cat have wonderful personalities and I know are grateful for the lives that they have. I only wish I could adopt more, but I unfortunately don’t have that option.

I also saw this same story on the news a couple nights ago. Here’s the link to the Dog Files article: Banning Pet Shops On Sale Of Puppy Mill Dogs
