The Pros And Cons Of Dog Adoption

When choosing to adopt or buy a dog from a breeder can be one of the biggest decisions a family will have in their life that will impact them or their family. When getting a dog, it takes time management, training, etc. There are a lot of factors when it comes to getting a dog, and a dog can either be a lifelong best friend or a terror on a family. So, when making that decision on a getting a dog, do research. Also, adopting would be the better choice rather than breeding, because every year millions of dogs are being euthanized, supporting puppy mills is wrong, breeders narrow the gene pool, which causes genetic abnormalities, and you have a wide variety of options with adopting.

The dogs that are being euthanized are a bring problem, because

Because, it has been proven by PETA that those breeders are irresponsible and highly dangerous, and treat the animals less than humane. While there are millions and millions of stray pets on the streets, it is irresponsible to keep breeding those animals, because many of them still don’t have a forever home. So, over all this creates overpopulation in the pet world, because most of those animals end up right back on the street. As a result, these homeless animals are often enough not neutered, and this also continues the breeding cycle. Thus, continues a lot of selective breeding, which is inhumane for the animals. Selective breeding for certain traits can result in a lot of unintentional negative effects. For many of those cases, the purebreds are born with many health problems due to inbreeding. There is a valid argument that breeders are toying with evolution, because the demand for certain looking dogs is on a rise. But, it is unnatural for when they start breeding the unnatural, especially when they cross dogs of completely different standards. For example, if someone is crossing a small Wiener Dog with a large Pitbull, it is already bound for genetic disaster, but also is entirely

They’re saving the life of the dog that they choose to be a part of their family, and the next dog that needs the space in the shelter. It has been scientifically proven that shelter dogs, “mutts,” prove that mixed breeds are highly unlikely to have inherited genetic diseases. Also, the adoption fee at most places is $120, which includes a bag of food and other things for the dog that is being adopted. This also covers the cost to have them sterilized and microchipped, have their medical evaluation and necessary medications. Also, most people think of shelter dogs as “erratic with behavior issues,” but that is simply not true. Shelter dogs mostly come from homes that had a change in a family situation, so it is not because of their temperament. So, in many cases, shelter dogs already have training. If someone is adopting from a rescue group, the people at the shelter can already give the owner some good ideas of how the dog is going to behave and what their personality is. Shelter dogs have tons of love to give families. In most cases, they have been proven to be better dogs in the long run rather than getting one from a breeder, because of shelter dogs training and their genetics. Shelter dogs have tons of socialization, so they are better with dogs and other humans, so they are not dog aggressive or human aggressive. The friendly, lovable dogs are perfect for any household. There is another bonus in shelter dogs, and it is
