Show Your Love And Adopt A Dog From Your Local Pound

When I was a kid, we adopted endangered animals in school. Each group of students got to choose one animal than they wanted to help, and we would make a contribution through fund raising to help save it from extinction. For many years, I did not even think about it, but recently I decided to adopt a dog. Adopting a dog was an easy decision for me. You see, I wanted a pet but I was pretty broke. The dogs in the local pound needed love and affection, and they were free. Nonetheless, I got the same joy when I decided to adopt a dog as I got out of adopting an endangered species in elementary school.

The decision to adopt a pet is one that should be easy to make. There are so many unwanted cats and dogs out there that the only reason not to adopt is if you want a purebred pet. In my opinion, this is a very selfish reason. A mixed breed dog or cat can be just as loving and affectionate as a purebred one, and it will be destroyed if you do not adopt. Although it can be harder to adopt a cat than to adopt a dog – because cats have a harder time adapting to new environments – I know many people who have done this and ended up with friendly, loving pets.

I was so happy with my experience that my niece recently decided to adopt a pet. Her parents talked it over with her, and decided that she was at the age where she could handle it. They went to the pound to see which one she wanted. She got to look at all of the dogs in the cages, and pick the one that looked right to her. It was a wonderful moment for her. She had always wanted a pet, and she was finally getting to the age where her parents would let her have one.

I think she is a wonderful girl, and I fully approve of their decision to adopt a dog. She seems like she will be a wonderful pet owner. She and the dog are already inseparable, and I'm sure they will only grow closer. Deciding to adopt a dog is really a wonderful way to teach a child about responsibility, and help them learn to be more adult. When you adopt a dog, you bring a new friend into the family.
