As I have stated before, I am absolutely obsessed with dogs. Not only am I obsessed with dogs, but I am also obsessed with the idea of rescuing dogs. My biggest pet peeve in the world is when people buy dogs from pet stores and breeders instead of rescuing them from shelters. Hundreds of thousands of perfect pups are put down every year just because they can't find a good home while people are paying breeders to breed more dogs. My personal favorite website to search for adoptable animals, which is where I found my pup, is
petfinder.com. Here, you can search for different types of adoptable animals by location, age, breed, size, ect. Shelters around the country add their adoptable dogs to this website to make a really user-friendly and easy way to find your perfect new pet!
My baby, Millie, was rescued as a puppy from a shelter in Scranton, PA. Her mom came into the shelter pregnant and had her litter there. She is a blue nose pit bull and super small for her breed, so I think she was the runt of the litter. We rescued her when she was around 9 weeks old. This is extremely common, so if you are looking for a puppy, you can definitely rescue one! Also, pit bulls are an extremely understood breed, so they are extremely common shelter dogs. Please remember that no dog is born mean and they behave how they are trained to be. But if you are not open to adopting this breed, there are so many breeds available from poodles to golden retrievers. So next time you are thinking of getting a pet, be sure to adopt!
Being an advocate for pet adoption, I thought it would be a cool idea to do a "pup of the week" post on my blog where I would show a dog in my area that needs a home! So look out for my "pup of the week" posts! I have helped multiple people
