There are thousands of unwanted cats and dogs waiting for good homes at area shelters and yet we still find people buying pure-bred puppies for hundreds of dollars at pet stores. I have friends who breed dogs and I do get that... I also grew up with pure-breads and we NEVER adopted a pet from a shelter. We did however take in several strays over the years and I will say this... those strays were every bit as loving and wonderful as the dogs my father paid good money for.
If you're looking to add a pet to your family, please consider pet adoption first, before you hit a breeder or a pet store chain. Teach your children how to adopt a pet and why pet adoption is so very important.
If you're afraid to walk into a shelter, unsure of what you'll find and how it might tweak at your heart, consider checking out Petango.com where you can view images of pets in your area in need of a good home. Pentago provides the user with real-time searches in hopes of matching animals with families in need of a little fuzzy friend to nurture and love on.
You should see all the dogs I just pulled up in my area... many with photos and I'm already in love. There is a cute little brown lab mix that is making my heart melt!

We're more dog people than cat people, so I'm drooling over the dogs. lol If your kids (like mine) are at that age when you think they might finally be ready to help take care of a brand new pooch visit this ever important link: Petango.com - Adopt a dog today!
Do your good dead for the day... if you're ready for a cat or dog, head to Petango.com and save the day for some homeless animal.
