4 The Love Of Animals

Save $$: Up to $500 or more depending on animal and breed. Save the Planet: Adopting a shelter pet not only saves a life, but it reduces demand for purebred animals, which are more likely to have medical problems due to genetic abnormalities. Good for You: Adopting an orphaned animal keeps it from having to be euthanized.

In fact, nearly a quarter of all animals in shelters are purebred. Thanks to Adopt-A-Pet.com for these great tips!
