Puppy Adoption
Adoption should always be your first option but it is not the easiest decision to make. There exist many dog shelters each with multiple dog breeds to choose from. The process of adoption might take hours up to days to choose the right puppy. All these puppies seek for are loyal, trustful, and devoted future owners to take care of them. These adorable puppies need your love and affection.
I slowly entered the large room that sheltered all the puppies. The shelter set off a depressing sensnory. There was a chill to the room as the dominite orma consisted of puppy urine. I walked down the first isle as dogs began to bark as I passed by. I then approached a cage with a dog by the name of “Bandit”. Bandit was a sharp and slim purebred

    When she found out she was shocked, “the reason it was deeded to the veterinary students was that the barn had bats and we were the only ones guaranteed to have a rabies vaccination” (Vogelsang 45). Near the end of the story when Jessica is explaining what happened to their deceased family dog, her young children misunderstand her message that their dog went to Heaven; her son said, “She’s going to Kevin” (Vogelsang 308). This simple statement brings light to the topic of their beloved pet’s passing. I sincerely recommend this memoir to everyone, especially animal lovers. Anyone who has ever had a pet will understand the wonderful messages in the story.…

    Last but not least the daughter who had a short interaction in the story but because of her there was a whole story to even read. If the story took place in a different place in a different setting I don’t think the father would’ve behaved the same way.

He went the extra mile for the dog that he hates because of his children.…

    One of the biggest decisions someone could ever do is whether to adopt a dog from a rescue group or buy a puppy from a breeder. There are several major differences to consider before making a final choice. While both are viable options, the differences and similarities between adopting and purchasing animals are pronounced and deserve a thorough investigation before choosing the right course of action for your lifestyle. Three of the major variations between adopting and purchasing dogs are the health, price, and complicity of taking it home. With a rescue dog the specific breed of the dog may be unknown, but at least the rescue will be able to provide the type of personality it has.…

    “Fate is the endless chain of causation, whereby things are; the reason or formula by which the world goes on” (Zeno of Citium). In the nineteenth century, new movements in literature were developed due to changes in society after the Civil War: Realism and Naturalism. The main intent of Realism was to exclude romantic and fantastic ideals in literature, interpolating what is real. Authors who describe themselves as Realists explain things without decorative language or sugar-coating events, and they believe that characters determine their own future, rather than a higher being or fate. Naturalism is believed to be a form of extreme Realism; it surpasses the authenticity of Realism with a philosophical pessimism and deterministic view of life.…

    I hear the loud, rough sound of the door opening, as I enter my soft, green house. Today at school had simply been horrific. My alarm hadn’t gone off this morning and everyone was in such a glorious mood when I arrived to the all too familiar building (note the sarcasm). Suddenly I hear the all too familiar jingle of the tags on my dog, buddy’s, collar. Setting down my black and white bag with a sigh, I trudge to the back of the house where he is.…

I followed him into the door, then i noticed how small the shop had been it was one floor with a large space where they kept food and toys and the shop pet, lady, a weird little parrot. She didn't talk much but when she did I never understood. On the left a room that could have been a kitchen at one time but is used as a break room.

I turn on the sink and splash my face with the ice cold water, turning off the sink I look into the mirror,and grimace. My hair is matted to my head, my eyes bloodshot from crying, my clothes clinging to my sweaty body.…
