Why 'Adopt Don't Shop'?

     Due to the easy reproduction of dogs and the irresponsibility of many people, millions of dogs are slaughtered in shelters, while those who remain on the streets lead a life of fear, hunger, cold and physical abuse. You can see the sadness reflected on their faces.

     Adopting a street dog will save their life, giving them a second chance to have a home and live a dignified and happy life. But also, if you have enough free space you should welcome a second dog, who will also be waiting for their perfect family.

     When buying a dog in a pet store or from a breeder, you contribute to the breeding, legal or not, of animals, and in most cases this is done in poor conditions for poor dogs.

Breeders do not care that females are giving birth throughout their lives, unwillingly, and often go hungry, cold, suffer serious illnesses and mistreatment of all kinds. When you think about buying a dog, remember all this and do not support the abuse.

     Dogs that are abandoned on the street and protected in shelters are usually cross-breeds (we can also find dogs of race), so they are specimens of unique appearance and well-defined personalities, some different from others.

In this way, you can take home a dog who looks like you or has a similar personality! Unfortunately both adult dogs and puppies are in need of a home, so it is up to you to decide which you can devote your time to.

     Needless to say, buying a dog from a breeders will cost you quite a great deal of money and nothing guarantees that they will live long, considering the poor conditions they are often brought up in. Likewise, these purebreds are often born with defects and are prone to diseases.

     Taking home a stray dog will not cost you anything but the responsibility of taking care of them. Of course, taking care includes vaccinations too!
