October is
Adopt a Shelter Dog Month to encourage adoptions not just this month, but throughout the year and to raise awareness on shelters which are filled with homeless pets with uncertain fates.
In struggling economic times, people are on tighter budgets. Unfortunately, this has resulted in many people giving up their pets, not realizing that pets are an essential part of their family. Pets do not care whether you are rich or poor. Their needs are simple yet they become such an integral part of who you are as a human. Compassion and loyalty are just a few of the many gifts a pet can give to you that unfortunately in this day and age, we lose touch with.
PetFinder is an excellent source to start looking for your pet. You can search by breed, size, and age to narrow down the search results. You can also visit your local shelters and rescue organizations and meet your potential new companions.
