I Beg of You to Please Adopt Shelter Pets Stories of Experiences

My brother's Border Collie had passed away and he was depressed. I told him to check out the Anti-Cruelty downtown and "get a baby that needs you".

I went with him, because I was going to pay the adoption fee as a birthday present for...

Currently we have six dogs in the house; all rescued. They are all house broken and behave very well, but the average weight is over 50 pounds and they are all needy.I agree, I am very glad we have rescued pets, but know when to say...

He was the one who was hard to please
but even though he was like that
i still pursue my feelings to him...
he was the one who made me laugh
he was the one who made me smile
he was the one who made me cry
he was the one who sometimes...

i'm moving to seattle in a couple weeks. i've have been there once and it was really cold. i'm looking forward to it but it will be a big change. i really just want to get it over with, i hate moving. my mom and i live in tennessee at...

I have a cat who I adopted from the pound, and she just loves me absolutely. I'm pretty sure that like most pound rescuees, she's aware from where I've taken her and really appreciates me for giving her a much better life. There is no...

If you are thinking about getting an animal PLEASE get one from a shelter. There are thousands of animals dying every day dying because there is no room for them in shelters. These animals are otherwise healthy (for the most part) but...

BE GOOD TO OUR EARTH

BE GOOD TO EVERY PERSON

SEEK THE INDIVIDUAL's GOOD WILL and DO NOT

DO NOT TOLERATE THOSE VICTIMIZING OTHER LIVES!!!

DO NOT!!!

That does INCLUDE...

There aren't enough no kill shelters.  It's  very expensive . People believe they are dropping a dog or cat off to get a home , in a neighborhood shelter. Be careful..please ask. Most aren't no kill.  ...

I will gladly sacrifice my silly desire to own a purebred in order to save a mutt from euthanization. If you MUST own a purebred, there are lots of organizations that rescue certain pure breeds- that is far more noble that funding...

i beg of you to please adobt shelter  pets . please they are so cute and need a home . please save them from a  trip to the death table .

My story's the same as anschel's really.
The few times I've been to a rescue place, like the RSPCA (actually I think I've only been to RSPCA rehoming centres) I always get such an urge to take every single one of those poor creatures...

I will adopt a shelter pet when I have my own home. Right now, my family members are not really pet lovers. Some have asthma, while others just don't like them. I've always dreamed of having my own house with a big outside space where...

I say this too.  Adopt from shelters stop supporting people breeding for money until we get the pet population in control. I'd love a Siamese but haven't got one because there are far more cats in need than one breed specifically...

Thank you for sharing your stories. Its wonderful to know people feel the same way I do and are willing to make a difference. I've been a member of a horse rescue group for seven yrs now.All but six of horses are...

I have never entertained the notion of purchasing a pet from a breeder or pet store.  Here in the deep south, I have seen the results of puppy mills and the general disregard for animals. It saddens me to think that people can be...

That sad hopeful look that says, "Please, pick me. "  It tears me apart.  I want to take all of them home with me, but know I can't. 

As I sit here, sobbing while watching the ASPCA commercial with Sarah McLachlan, camera showing caged dogs and cats, homeless animals, animals that have been abused and mistreated, I can't beg of you all enough to PLEASE ...
