Why adoption is a great option

Gentle Ben, a Homestead Newfoundland/Akita dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Newfoundland/Akita for sale in Homestead, or seeking a Newfoundland/Akita dog from a breeder in Homestead.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Homestead already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Homestead breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Newfoundland/Akita breeders who help with Newfoundland/Akita rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Homestead paves the way for another one to be saved.
