Little Rhody Rescue Needs Your Help!
If you are looking for a dog, start by adopting rather than shopping. When someone buys a puppy from a pet store, they’re unknowingly supporting puppy mills, which are large-scale breeding operations that put profit ahead of animal welfare. Many puppy mill dogs have never been out of their cages, felt grass under their feet, and have never been hugged in a way that makes them know they are loved and cared for. By saying no to a pet store pet, you’re saying no to animal cruelty.
Rescue shelters such as Little Rhody Rescue are full of healthy, sweet and smart animals who were surrendered not because of their behavior but generally due to the issues of their owners. Did you know that 25% to 30% of all shelter animals are Purebred animals? The most common reasons animals are surrendered is because of a change in circumstances of their family: a divorce, a move, or because their family was not ready for all the responsibilities of having a pet and “no longer has time for them.” Rescue groups offer adoptable dogs of all ages, breeds, mixes and sizes. So what are you waiting for? Adopt!
