The primary message of this issue is to inform Canadians that when they look for a pet, their first stop should be their local humane society or SPCA. There was also a need to dispel the myth that shelter animals are poorly behaved animals, that their original owners couldn’t deal with them. On the contrary, most ended up homeless because their owner got them on impulse and weren’t aware of or prepared for the investment they would require in time and money. In some cases, the owner died and there was no one else to adopt the pet. Failing to spay or neuter pets can also bring unwanted litters.
Most shelter animals simply need a second chance. Did you know that they come with several benefits? They’ve been spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated and had a full vet check-up. Their physical health and behavior has been tested to ensure they’re ready for a new home. Pet parents who adopt from a shelter can choose the kind of animal they want. They not only get a new best friend and a lifetime of love, but also may be saving a life.
