The Shift: Instead of buying your new friend from a pet store or breeder, adopt one from a shelter. Shift-It Tip: If you’re set on a purebred dog or cat, buy one from a rescue association instead of getting a pedigree from a breeder. Instead of buying toys, you can delight dogs and cats with stuff you already own.
