Second Chance Pet Adoptions

The number of stray animals is increasing daily. We live in a world where cats and dogs and other domestic animals are being abandoned by their owners or running away. This issue may not be seen like a big tragedy to all, but I personally am very involved with animals. I work at an animal hospital, Hemlock Bluffs, here in Holly Springs. We often receive animals found on the streets, many of them very hurt and in critical condition. We’ve also received animals from owners that couldn’t keep up with the responsibility and money to provide for the animal. There are more than two hundred million stray dogs throughout the United States.

I currently volunteer for my church in the youth department, (I started in the beginning of 2015), and I’ve been talking with a few of the directors on informing people about Second Chance Pet Adoptions.

This also leads to trying to get dog breeders to have a possible breed limit. Now that’s much easier said than done, but it would really benefit the stray animal community if breeders could maintain a steady rate. Many people are hesitant to get a pet for their own personal reasons, but if that’s the case they don’t need to adopt! People can foster the animal. Fostering leads to fewer animals getting euthanized at certain shelters. A healthy home positively impacts our animals and their lives, just like it does for us and our families. Opening up our doors to cats and dogs allows us to provide that love and stability into a safe home. Another issue with strays is the animals that run away. Maybe they get out because the door was left open behind you, but now they become strays, roaming the streets instead of being home. People can just report what they see (throughout their area) or even use social media. That’ll not only reduce the strays, but bring a family back together. There are too many healthy cats and dogs being put down because the shelters keep getting filled to maximum capacity. I am a big believer that pets have feelings and their lives
