Five great reasons to adopt, per @HumaneSociety:
1. If you adopt, you'll save a life
2. When you adopt, you get a healthy pet
3. Adopting will save you money
4. Adopting a pet will make you feel better
5. If you adopt, you won't be supporting puppy mills and pet stores
"Countless dogs are bred for profit and kept in cruel conditions just to keep the puppy industry in business," according to @ASPCA.
These are puppy mills.

Did you know...
"According to the latest research and data, every year over 6.5 million dogs, cats, and other household pets are surrendered to animal shelters," says World Animal Foundation.
"Approximately 4.1 million shelter animals are adopted each year," according to ASPCA.
"Approximately 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized," adds @ASPCA.
"The number of euthanized animals could be reduced dramatically if more people adopted pets instead of buying them. When you adopt, you save a loving animal by making them part of your family and open up shelter space for another animal who might desperately need it," according to @humanesociety.
All #furkids deserve to be happy, healthy, and loved 🧡
