The Top 5 Reasons to Adopt from an Animal Rescue

3. You Will Be Fighting Dog and Cat Overpopulation

Sane animal rescuers (aka not PETA) do not have a problem with responsible breeders. We love dogs and cats! We do not want them to go extinct, like Aya Katz says. Our problem is with irresponsible and cruel breeders — which there are far too many of! We also have a problem with owners who let unfixed cats outside to mate with feral cat populations. Katz says we are contributing to the demise of all domestic animals in the US? Oh please. With millions of cats and dogs being killed in shelters due to overpopulation, this is not a worry at all. If you’re dead set on buying a puppy, we ask that you do your research to make sure that the breeder is responsible and cares about the health of the dogs.
