The Importance of Pet Adoption
Pet adoption is a vital service that not only saves lives but also provides a loving home for animals in need. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter shelters in the United States each year.
