25 People Who Adopted Stray Animals Instead Of Pure Breeds And Lived Happily Ever After

We will always encourage people to adopt, not shop.

Breeders make a lot of money from dealing in purebred animals. The animals are kept in their custody for the sole purpose of breeding. This can result in overbreeding and is highly dangerous for the animal as its health can deteriorate quickly. However, breeders do not care about that. They will use the animal as long as it can provide them with purebred babies, and sell those babies later on for extreme prices. Every animal is capable of giving love whether it is a pure-breed or a stray animal that decided to follow you on the street. Why waste your time injecting more money into a breeder’s business and spending so much money on a purebred animal when you can easily find one from shelters that already need a forever home? People have a very weird complex when it comes to animal breeds. They think it is very reputable to have a purebred in the house. First of all, that should not be the purpose of someone getting a pet. Secondly, stray or rescue animals tend to love their family even more because they are grateful to have found a home.

While it is true that you can prepare yourself for a pet’s temperament when you know its breed, you can also find that out when you spend some time with them. Some animals have been so overbred that they now have health diseases which include problems in the heart and lungs. All animals can show affection once they are comfortable in their new home and their breed won’t matter once you cuddle up with them for the first time. People need to let go of their obsession with purebred animals and give stray animals a shot at life. Trust me, it will change your lives for the better. If you need some solid proof of how much love and affection stray animals can give you, scroll down below to see 25 people who adopted stray animals instead of pure breeds and lived happily ever after.
