I would love to adopt a dog but my city don’t ever have free adoption week they would rather put dogs down. And cats. Lastly I think it would solve a big problem if our local animal shelters advertised weekly to give these beautiful pets a 2nd chance by advertising that there full and animals are gonna be put down I bet it would save there lives. It would also save them money on the medication they use to kill these pets. If you can afford a pet please get out there and rescue a pet from these inhumane places.
