I would either adopt from a shelter or find a rehome. Volunteering at a shelter for the past year has really opened my eyes. I now update the medical files on all the dogs and cats and the amount of dogs and cats returned or brought in because they no longer use the litter box/accidents in the house, moving, having kids etc is mind boggling. It breaks my heart. I sit tin the cat intake room to work and to see the look on their faces not knowing why they are now sitting in a cage (once they are cleared for health they go to the big cat room) or the dogs sitting in a cage. After awhile you see the anxiety turn to resignation. I wish this country would realize something needs to be done. |
