Question

owning a pet
pets are loyal companions and can benefit their owners in a number of ways. apart from being a companion and playmate, a pet brings joy and relaxation to its owner. hillary johnson, a renowned psychologist, in her article a pet is the best medicine, states that a pet can benefit its owner both emotionally and psychologically. she says that pets have the ability to reduce anxiety and contribute to the overall well - being of their owners.
animal shelters and rescue organizations
in the united states, thousands of animals, especially dogs and cats, end up in animal shelters every year, and the numbers are increasing every day because most people prefer buying pets from breeders to adopting from shelters or rescue organizations. animal shelters are full of pets who are either lost or have been abandoned by their owners. even though shelters and rescue organizations provide care for animals, the animals crave love and are in desperate need of a home and a family.
adopting pets saves money and time
adopting a pet from an animal shelter is cheaper, or sometimes free, as opposed to buying one from a pet shop. most animal shelters contain pets that have already been vaccinated and house - trained. pets that have lost their homes in the past are usually aware of the basic commands and do not require extensive training. moreover, there are organizations such as the shelter pet project that focus mainly on promoting animal adoption and providing people with pets of various types. this type of organization allows a person to adopt a pet of any age or breed.
