Santa Paws: A Lesson in Lifelong Love - Think Before You Gift!

This is video highlights issues surrounding purchasing pets as gifts at Christmas and includes a concise summary of pet adoption statistics.

In about 4-12 weeks, we are going to be seeing the "We need to re-home our pet" posts. These are the folks who purchased puppies / kittens as Christmas gifts without thinking about the consequences.

If you take responsibility for an animal, that is a lifetime commitment and it's much better to adopt from a shelter rather than buying from a breeding mill.

By adopting, you're giving a second chance to an animal in need, potentially saving it from euthanasia. Adopted pets often come spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, saving you initial vet costs. Your adoption fee helps support the shelter or rescue organisation in their mission to care for other animals.
