Search Dogs by Breed Near You

Adoption means a healthier dog as your pet. Some people might have the misconception that dogs in shelters have something wrong with them. In fact, most dogs for adoption end up in shelters not because of any problem with pet behavior or health issues, but because they were dropped off by someone who simply didn't have the time or money to care for the animals. In some cases pets are lost and never found by their owners. These animals are healthy and very eager to please. Shelters have dogs of all breeds, including purebred dogs. Purebred dogs sometimes end up in shelters because a dog breeder was not able to sell all the dogs. These people are sometimes called "backyard" dogs breeders. They are people who breed dogs as a hobby or to make money, but don’t make a commitment to the dog for life if they cannot find them a home. While people often think they want a purebred dog from a dog breeder, they might not realize that often mixed-breed dogs are genetically healthier. Less inbreeding means less inherited genetic disease and breed related defects, lower vet bills and happier little animals! Adoption is a win-win for dogs and pet lovers. How can you find a dog to love you for life? It’s simple: Adopt!
