Have you ever adopted or considered adopting a pet? Of all the pets in American homes, only 29% were adopted from a shelter or rescue. Each year approximately 3-4 million pets are adopted, but 2.7 million still lose their lives each year for lack of a home.
Seventeen million people will acquire a pet within the next year. The Shelter Pet Project, a collaborative effort between The Humane Society of the United States, Maddie’s Fund® and the Ad Council, hopes to encourage these prospective pet owners to adopt shelter and rescue pets.
Here is just one of those shelter pets:
Many of us grew up with a pet that truly becomes part of your family. They love us unconditionally, greet us like no other, every day, never tiring of seeing us. There’s a furry companion out there for everyone. You don’t have to spend a ton of money buying a pet, you can save a pet and bring home a family member by visiting a pet shelter.
