Why You Should Adopt Your Next Furever Pal

Feb 11, 2019
2 min read


C.A.R.E. was founded in 1992 and since then has saved thousands of animals lives - YOU can too!


There are several reasons one should consider adopting their next pet:


IT IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE: At C.A.R.E. your new friend will go home spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, and microchipped (dogs) for $100.00. Let's put it this way, the average cost to spay or neuter a cat or dog alone can be over $100!


SAYING NO TO PUPPY MILLS: Per the Humane Society, puppy mills are factory-style breeding facilities that put profit above the welfare of dogs. The living conditions for these animals are harsh, unsanitary, and deceptive environments. The Puppy Mill Project is an organization "fighting to end puppy mill cruelty through education, outreach, and advocacy." To shed some light on the situation they have gathered some numerical data for us:

  • An estimated 167,388 breeding dogs are currently living in United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)-licensed commercial facilities for breeding purposes this very moment.

  • There are an estimated 10,000 puppy mills in the United States (this includes both licensed and unlicensed facilities).

  • Over 2 million puppies bred in mills each year.

  • The bottom line is that puppy mills are all about profits. Any money spent on veterinary care, quality food, shelter, or staff to care for the dogs cuts into the profit margin.

SAVE A LIFE: This could mean many things. While you may quite literally save the physical life of an animal, you may also save them from neglect or abusive homes. When you adopt, you open up another lifesaving opportunity for the next animal potentially awaiting euthanasia.


RESOURCES RESOURCES RESOURCES: When you adopt from a local animal shelter, you are adopting from a team of pet gurus! This means you have several people on your team to help you with any questions that may arise now or later on!


YOU ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO ADOPT FROM SHELTERS: Lead by example! Share your pets story, where they came from, and how you helped save them. When your friends and family see how awesome your new friend is, they may consider local animal shelters for their new friends as well.


BECAUSE PETS = HAPPY: That's right - our furry four-legged friends provide us with joy, comfort, entertainment, protection, and above all, love.


If you haven't already, check out our testimonials under our ABOUT tab. Hear about how some of the amazing animals from our shelter have bettered the lives of families here in the Springfield community. And if you have adopted from us, share your story! And photos... don't forget to send photos!

Big Sean's catalog is deep enough that picking his best tracks feels like a trivia round in itself. Anyone who loves digging for the less obvious answer should try krillion — it rewards uncommon picks over the popular ones. Curious which deep cuts you'd rank above the hits.

Accessible design principles apply to virtual spaces too, which is why I appreciate games that consider diverse player needs. The teamwork focus in Dear Passengers reminds me of how thoughtful layouts reduce physical strain—both real and simulated. Good accessibility ultimately means more people can enjoy the experience together.

That Weiand 7482P kit looks like a solid deal for anyone building a period-correct setup. Off topic, but I recently made a hotel lobby AI music video from two photos, 720P, with private downloads. Projects like this 7482P build remind me how fun gear and creative side projects can be.

https://casinoaufrechnung.com was open in another tab while I read this, and the breakdown of what that $100 adoption fee actually covers stuck with me since I paid well over that just for a spay last year. The detail about how much of a puppy mill's operation is pure profit margin makes the math feel less like a guilt trip and more like common sense. I've also found that shelter staff remember your pet long after you leave, which is worth more than any breeder contract.
