Statistics show that approximately 2 million dogs are adopted from U.S. shelters each year.
Why do animals become homeless
For various reasons: some got lost, others’ owners died, and some were simply thrown away by their owners, which, unfortunately, is not uncommon.
In addition, the population of stray animals is increasing naturally.
Why is it better to adopt an animal from a shelter
They are treated, given the necessary vaccinations and sterilized.
Fractures, bruises, infection with parasites, long periods of starvation - all this affects the psyche of animals.
Shelter staff help pets undergo social adaptation and begin to trust people again.
Do I have to pay for a shelter animal
Animals from shelters are given away free of charge, but in any case you will need to prepare for the pet's arrival.
Buy food, a bed, bowls, a leash (for a dog), a carrier and a litter box (for a cat) and, as with any animal, you need to be prepared to pay for veterinary procedures.
