Adopting a pet, there are all advantages

Now that we are approaching a season of gifts, in many homes the letters written to the Three Wise Men or Santa Claus include the request for a pet.

In these types of situations, the first thing we must take into account is that the dog or cat will be with us for many years . We must be aware that it is a responsibility that we are going to contract with a living being that requires a series of care on our part. Unfortunately, there are still people who “get tired” of having a pet and decide to abandon it. There are thousands of animals that end up in shelters or shelters in the best of cases.

But we can reverse this situation with responsible adoption . Giving a new opportunity and a full life to a pet that has been abandoned is an act of love that will only bring us benefits. Enjoying the company of a living being, while rescuing it from an uncertain future , is wonderful, we assure you.

Although dogs and cats that have been abandoned may seem somewhat distant or shy at first contact, it is because of the fear they have of experiencing an unpleasant situation again, but once they gain trust with their new owner, they are grateful for their part is infinite and you will find in that pet a friend forever .

If you decide to go through a shelter or a shelter where there are pets up for adoption, you will be able to interact with it little by little, take it for a walk, take it in temporary foster care or other solutions that the people who work there will offer you. In addition, these people will be able to advise you regarding the size of the pet, its history or its character. If you are looking for a specific breed, you should know that cats and dogs of all breeds live in many shelters, so don't let that stop you from visiting them.

The cost will obviously also be lower. You will only have to pay the animal's veterinary expenses and the implantation of the chip .

And, last but not least, in this way you will contribute to the associations that take care of abandoned animals having a better situation, since the cost you will have to pay is invested in the care of the animals left there. .

Do you need any more reason to adopt?
