It is a well-known fact that pets brighten our days, after all, they are called "a man's best friend" for a reason. If animals are so wonderful, why do people give them up or ignore the fact that they need homes? We are sympathetic towards homeless people, why can't we be that sympathetic towards homeless animals? Dogs improve our mental health, they alter our state of mind. They offer unconditional love that we cannot receive from humans- they never get mad or angry with you. They have the ability to improve our mental health. So, why doesn't everyone have a pet? Homeless animals outnumber homeless people 5 to 1! 2.7 million dogs and cats are killed each year because there is not enough room for them at shelters. This issue is not going away. Yes, animals can cause stress (especially when they are little), but even toddlers are little terrors sometimes. There millions of homeless animals who are looking for a human connection, and many are not getting it. The solution is simple: adopt animals from shelters/human societies because you could save a life.
This is my dog, Lucy. We saved her from being euthanized. We saved the life of one homeless animal, and I encourage everyone to do the same thing.
