Adopt a New Family Member

Approximately 70 million stray dogs and cats live in the U.S. and nearly 8 million of these end up in shelters. If it’s time to get a family pet, go to your local shelter instead of heading for the pet store. You will save money and lives. More than 30 million animals in the U.S. die annually from cruelty, neglect, and exploitation. So many pets need good homes! If you are not in the market for a pet, talk to your local humane association about getting your family involved in walking strays at the shelter. The difference is huge.
