Statistics have shown that millions of cats and dogs are surrendered to shelters, or abandoned by their owners every year. Among them, it is estimated by ASPCA that about 860,000 cats and 670,000 dogs will be put down because their shelters can't find them forever homes. Sadly, many people don't seem to really concern about these alarming numbers.
Animal activists have said that the money spent on pedigree cats and designer dogs can help shelters to save hundreds of thousands of animals every year. Therefore, they support adopting a pet instead of purchasing a new one because whenever you adopt an animal, you save its life.
Thankfully, there are still people who care about the lives of these naive unfortunate souls at shelters and decide to help them. Some adopted pets from foster homes, while others work as rescuers to save the cats/dogs they meet. They are all kind-hearted people.
You can see their work and read their stories on Reddit, an online channel where people are free to share their thoughts, experiences, and perspectives about every aspect of life. The following are twenty short stories about pet adoption that we've compiled to show you today. Hopefully, they will brighten your day.
