1. When you buy a dog from a pet store, you’re supporting cruel puppy mills. He can’t believe you would ever do that. Not you.
2. You can’t buy love—but you can adopt it from an animal shelter (and usually for a lot less money than buying a dog from a breeder or a pet store).
3. Most “preowned” dogs are already housetrained.
4. What’s up, doc, er, dog? Shelters and rescue groups often include vaccinations, microchipping, and spaying or neutering in the adoption fee.
5. At an animal shelter, you can find a dog to fit your unique personality (even if you’re a little nutty).
6. You will be rewarded with looks like this and other expressions of gratitude for as long as you both shall live.
7. More than 6 million—that’s how many cats and dogs enter animal shelters every year.
8. Ahhhh, it feels great to know that you saved a life.

SO ADOPT! DON'T BUY!!
