#5: You get a unique dog
Often times in a shelter, the dogs are mixed breeds. This allows you to obtain a dog that looks nothing like any other dog you have ever seen before. You can choose from any of the dogs in the shelter, which are a wide range of sizes and temperaments. But, if you do want a purebred or a specific type of dog, you can still get this through adoption. There are rescues for specific breeds of dogs if you know exactly what type of dog you want.
Get a unique animal; adopt a pet.

REASONS TO ADOPT
#4: It's cheaper
When you buy a dog from a pet store, it can cost thousands of dollars. Adopting, on the other hand, costs little to nothing. When you purchase a dog, the money you use to buy them goes to the pet store as well as the puppy mills. This allows the puppy mills to prosper and expand and grow their business. But, when you adopt, any money that you do pay for that dog goes to the shelter. The shelter uses this money to buy food or supplies to house and help the remaining dogs they have. Adopting a dog is better for the owner as well as the pet.
Save money; adopt a pet.

#3: You get a healthier pet
When you buy from a pet store, the dogs are purebred. Purebred dogs are susceptible to many more genetic problems and diseases than mixed breed dogs are. Additionally, in order to be in a shelter, dogs have to get many shots and procedures done to them. So, when you adopt a dog from the shelter they are already up-to-date on all of their vaccinations in addition to being spade or neutered.

#2: You are not supporting puppy mills
Animals for sale in pet stores are the result of what are known as "puppy mills". Puppy mills are factory style breeding facilities for dogs. The breeders do not care about the welfare of the animals, but only that they are able to continually produce puppies. These dogs are often severely traumatized from this experience. So, when you purchase a dog from the puppy store, you are supporting puppy mills. Although you may not actually be in favor of them, you are providing them with business every time you purchase an animal from a pet store instead of adopting one. This allows them to grow and prosper their businesses, abusing more dogs along the way.
Don't support puppy mills; adopt a pet.

#1: YOU'RE SAVING A LIFE!!!!
Pets in the shelter are often in jeopardy of being euthanized. Shelters have limited space and money to buy resources for the pets, so they often have to make the difficult decision to euthanize the dogs or cats who are not being adopted. By adopting a pet, you are saving its life and giving it a good, loving home. Also, when you adopt you are opening up a spot in the shelter for another dog to stay and live longer. In reality, when you adopt you are saving the lives of two animals and not even just one.
Save two lives; adopt a pet.
