The decision to bring a companion animal into your home shouldn't be made lightly, but when you do, consider this... For every animal sold in pet stores, equally healthy and deserving animals in shelters face death row whilst waiting for someone to adopt them. The sale of animals from pet stores and breeders underpin an overbreeding crisis which is resulting in hundreds of thousands of needy animals being euthanised every year simply because there aren't enough good homes for them. Your commitment to adopt, not buy, can save lives and help end the pet overpopulation crisis.
