It is stated that around 2.5 million puppies are sold at pet stores each year in the U.S. This, along with the millions of other kinds of pets sold each year, contribute to a surplus of domestic animals that is not sustainable for our society. If everyone who wanted a pet adopted instead of bought, there would be millions less animals in shelters today. Please consider adoption as your ONLY choice when getting a new friend.
