Everyone knows there are thousands of wonderful cats and dogs sitting in shelters, rescues and foster homes waiting for their “forever” family. Getting the word out can be an uphill battle though, and one excellent way is to organize an adoption event. Everyone is impressed, but you were the one who attended obedience class when you could have learned another hobby. You had to buy a new rug or couch when the puppy spray didn’t work, lost a few pair of shoes and maybe a few antiques .

Shelter pets are a bargain. For an pet adoption fee between $60 and $100, you can adopt an animal that would cost several hundred dollars through other means. Shelters and rescue organizations agree that black cats are the last ones chosen from any litter. We can’t understand it - they are shiny, sleek awesome companions! Shelters also have healthy animals and they are not expensive. Adoption counselors in the shelter help owners in arriving at a decision on pets.

Rescue groups are also a good source for information about a specific breed and can give you information about reputable breeders if you desire. Rescues are very careful to make sure their adoptable dogs and cats go to the right homes. Each organization has its own application and screening process for potential adopters.
