This is why I will always support adoption. Every animal deserves a second chance at life. Adopting a pet can really alter your life. Even though it is a huge responsibility, it is definitely worth it. You will have a loving best friend to stick with you through thick and thin. They will be your listener and your companion through difficult times. And don’t worry, once you adopt your fur baby, you won’t have a lot of sad days anymore. They tend to suck the sadness out of your life.
Almost 2.7 million animals remain unadopted in shelters every year. We can start dropping this number by choosing to adopt instead of shop. It doesn’t matter how old they are, how many legs they have, or if they’re blind. They will love you more than anything in this world. Below are 40 heartwarming cat rescue photos that prove the importance of adoption:
#1 We Adopted Kane About A Month Ago. We Don’t Know Much About His Background Or His Age, But He Is Around 10-12. He Is Nearly Deaf And Blind. He Is Very Sweet And Just Likes To Sleep All Day And Likes Going Outside. He Is A Good Boy
“All dogs are individuals with their own personalities and dispositions,” Kelly DiCicco, Manager, Adoptions Promotions at the ASPCA Adoption Center told Bored Panda. “When bringing your dog anywhere there will be different sights and sounds, as well as crowds, it’s important to consider their comfort level with new experiences in the past.”

“Large gatherings or events can be confusing or upsetting to pets who may also become frightened or disoriented by loud noises,” DiCicco warned. “You may want to leave your pet at home where you can ensure they feel safe and relaxed. If your dog will be outside with you, be sure to keep them leashed, give them plenty of fresh water and don’t let them linger on hot asphalt for too long. Being so close to the ground, your dog’s body can heat up quickly, and sensitive paw pads can burn.”

Yes, it is true that some adopted pets take a little time to settle in. That is completely normal. Even we take time to adjust to new surroundings. We should be patient with our adopted animals and the wait would definitely be worth it.
