When deciding to bring a furry friend into your home, the choice between adopting from a shelter or buying from a breeder has far-reaching consequences—not just for your future pet but for animal welfare as a whole. While purchasing from breeders may seem appealing for those seeking specific breeds, it often perpetuates significant animal welfare issues. By adopting rather than shopping, you contribute to a solution that saves lives, promotes ethical treatment, and combats the cycle of neglect and overpopulation.
