Puppy Rescue Adoption – Humane Choice
Advertisements
So, you have decided you want a puppy and are looking for a puppy rescue adoption. I commend you on you choice of going the puppy rescue adoption route as opposed to buying a puppy from a pet store. Pet stores usually buy their puppies from backyard breeders or puppy mills both of which can treat and house their puppies in shockingly inhumane ways.
The Humane Society of the United States refers to puppy mills by this name for a good reason. Often the “breeding stock” animals are caged and continually bred for years on end often with no human companionship. Once their fertility days are on the wane the “miller” kills the dogs to make way for a new breeder dog. This practice results in hundreds of thousands of puppies “milled” out each year for sale to pet stores, Internet buyers, and local buyers. This egregious practice will never end unless people stop buying these puppy mill puppies. Your choice for a puppy rescue adoption is one way to revolt against puppy mills.
Puppy rescue adoption organizations are plentiful around the world and in the US you can find many of these puppy rescue adoption organizations on the Internet. One resource to locate a puppy rescue adoption organization in your area is Pet Guardian Angels of America (PGAA) at www.pgaa.com. They have lists of State organizations and National organizations that rescue and shelter dogs. Although they have a large list of organizations that have abandoned and abused adult dogs many of these organizations also have puppies available for a puppy rescue adoption.
Another national organization that lists puppies available for a puppy rescue adoption is Petfinder at www.petfinder.com. They list over 250,000 pets from various non- profit pet adoption agencies for free. You can visit their site and search by your zip code and choose Baby for “Age” and there will be a large list of puppies in your local or surrounding area. Petfinder is great because they will only list non-profit organizations so you can be assured that if you find a puppy that is available for a puppy rescue adoption you are helping to save a puppy that may be put to death otherwise.
1-800-Save-A-Pet at www.1-800-save-a-pet.com is another fine charity organization that helps SPCA’s, humane societies, shelters, pet rescue groups, and pet adoption agencies advertise their homeless pets for free. In their mission statement they advise visitors to choose adult dog rescue adoption instead of puppy rescue adoption because there are many benefits to an adult dog. Most adult dogs have been housebroken, are well behaved, provide an instant bond and are more likely to be euthanized in animal shelters. However, if you have your heart set on a puppy rescue adoption they list thousands to choose from on their site. In your search simply enter your zip code, select “puppy” from the age menu, and click the search button. You will get to see all the wonderful mixed-breed puppies available for a puppy rescue adoption in your area.
This article has provided you with several quality sources to help you find your perfect puppy that can be adopted from a rescue organization. As mentioned earlier, you are providing a great service to mankind by adopting a rescue puppy. You are one very important voice that will help stop the inhumane practices of puppy mills. Good luck on your quest.
