5 Top Reasons to Adopt a Pet

February 19, 2015 Kim Croisant 14 Comments

We didn’t set out to adopt two puppies, but we couldn’t split these two apart. So we took them both from Tzu Zoo Rescue, Plano, TX. Today, I share my 5 top reasons to adopt a pet because they need our love and commitment.

5 Top Reasons to Adopt a Pet

These precious puppies are Cissy and Cody, our adopted puppies from Tzu Zoo Rescue in Plano, TX. We couldn’t be happier taking them both. Look how sweet they are. I couldn’t imagine taking only one. I’m sure the rescue group knew that too.

5 Top Reasons to Adopt a Pet

  1. Rescue pets need you. They need our care more than ever.
  2. They are starving for love and will surely give it to you.
  3. To do good in your society is to adopt a pet.
  4. You’ll save a life or two!
  5. Warm kisses whenever you want them, for sure.

Here’s one more reason, although it’s not as important. If you adopt a pet as a donation, it is tax-deductible.

Here’s my short story.

Our reasons for adopting a pet are simple. They need our love and care – period. We got these two from the TZU ZOO rescue group, so that means they should have had Shi Tzu in them….but….long story short, these two are Yorkie and Havanese mix. Not at all a Shi Tzu mix.

AND we are so glad we didn’t split them up. We were told Cissy and Cody were only three months old, which at that age, it’s okay to split up sibling pets. But when I took them to our Vet, he told us that they were at least six months old because their canine teeth were already in place. Six months is too late to split sibling pets up because they are used to one another. Did I mention, these two are inseparable?

So, please go out and adopt a pet from a rescue group or another type of group. It’s well worth your money spent.
By the way, this rescue group also has Lhasa Apso’s to adopt. I had one for over 16 years, and she was my best friend. I still miss her today. Dogs are family – let’s treat them like one of us.

    Good message. Great looking blog and photo! I just adopted my Mittens a month ago. I wish I had the financial resources to adopt about 10 dogs and cats. But I don't so I won't.

    Aw those are such great reasons for adopting. I couldn't be happier with my rescue dog Laika – she's my best friend. My previous dogs were from shelters as well and they've all been amazing.
