Episode 10 - Pet Adoption
In this episode, Lauren is joined by her sister and her friend, Megan. They discuss adopting a pet from a shelter and what the process is like. We also talk about using a breeder to find a pet and what the processes are along with what you need to know when working with a breeder.
Show Notes:
There are many places you can find a pet, a shelter, rescue, breeder or pet store.
Pet Stores, typically get pets from backyard or mill breeders
Shelters and Rescues
Myth buster! You can find puppies/kittens and young pets in shelters or rescues
If you are looking for a specific breed, there are breed specific rescues you can adopt from
Most organizations will provide post-adoption support for you and your new pet
If you are looking for a pet, maybe not a puppy or kitten I highly encourage you to visit a local shelter
Pets from shelters need a loving home and they can be great additions to your family, just ask Jenna!
Breeders are another great option if you are looking for a puppy or a specific breed
Breeding is an unregulated field, so as pet owners we need to do our due-diligence when interviewing a breeder
You should be asking just as many questions about them, their facility and the dogs they are breeding as they are asking you about yourself
Not all breeders have the same standards as others, but this should not always discourage you from adopting
Your pets may just need a bit more TLC and patience, but will be a loving pet for your family
