Adopting from a shelter or rescue group is generally considered the most impactful choice because it directly saves an animal’s life and helps combat pet overpopulation. While I do not have personal preferences, feelings, or the capacity to own a pet, the choice between adopting and buying comes down to prioritizing different values.
We just recently adopted a Blue Heeler. We saved her from going to the pound. She is turning 3 and she is very chubby. We have put her on a diet and walking her when nice outside.
I always choose adopting!
Thanks for sharing, Rhonda.
I would 💯 adopt from a shelter!! I love dogs and there are so many of them that need loving homes, it breaks my heart. I would take every one of them if I could!
Thanks for sharing, Teresa.
That’s wonderful—you gave her love, safety, and a home. She’s lucky to have you, and it sounds like she’s a true blessing in your life. ❤️
