The act of pet adoption rescue is a profound activity that tragically takes place in this country on a daily basis, much too often. All types of animals are abused, neglected or discarded as if the bonds that they have established with human beings are of no significance whatsoever.

The reality is that most abandoned animals left on the street will find their way to an animal shelter and end up being put to death because no one wants to adopt them. Each day across the United States, in every city, this tragedy occurs again and again.

The need for pet rescue is so overwhelming because there simply are not enough loving homes for the pets that are born in this country each year. If dog and cat owners were more responsible by spaying and neutering their pets, there would be much less of a problem of overpopulation of unwanted animals.

The Humane Society along with countless unnamed tireless individuals, do their best to save as many pets as they can from euthanasia by finding homes for as many animals as possible. Many pet adoption agencies are staffed by volunteers who give up their precious time to make sure dogs, cats and other pet animals are treated with dignity.

Those professionals in the field of pet rescue recommend that individuals not buy their pets from pet stores. Pet store animals often come from the colloquial for profit puppy mill type of setting. Often puppy mills cage their cats, dogs and other animals in atrocious, squalid conditions that are generally inhumane.

Those who deal with pet adoption rescue contend that purchasing an animal from a pet store just perpetuates the cycle of abuse by supporting puppy mills. Therefore, their suggestion is to get your next pet from your local SPCA or pet adoption center so that you can not only find a great pet, but can contribute to ending animal abuse.

If the world were fair, every pet born would have a loving, caring keeper. Unfortunately, too many of our pets are neglected and abused by their breeders as a simple commodity. It makes a caring person, who believes in the dignity and honor of each creature living on this earth; sad to see just how inhumanely we treat many animals.

You can be part of the solution that will reduce the demand for pet adoption rescues in the US by getting a pound or pet shelter pet. Then, to make sure there are no unintentional pregnancies, spay or neuter your dogs or cats at the appropriate time. And finally, bestow on your pet all your love and care so it is happy and healthy in its short stay on earth.
