Description
Do you want an animal companion, or do you just want to own some creature as an accessory? Adoption/rescue centers offer, on average a healthy and more socialized pet. Also, you avoid some of the risk of supporting a horrible breeding program.Do the research before you make the promise to keep and raise an animal.

Beautifully simple and clean design. I love it.
I keep wondering what an adopt children version of this would look like- a crib full of babies? Oh, that's innapropriate

Thats awesome!
And I agree completely, shelter cats rock. (I have five rescues)

Oh, very sweet and well done. I love the little heart...Why aren't there any dogs though?(I'm in a rescue group that focuses solely on one breed of dog....)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Several reasons: 1, I'm not a dog person (sorry), 2, I wouldn't put that many dogs in a cage with that many cats, 3, the idea came to me when I was helping with an adoption day display with cats...
Perhaps I'll make other images like this with other pets?

you are brilliant. thank you for your concern and undertstanding of how important quality of life is for all creatures and sharing these message. I've always wished all zoos, especially the idea, were completely discarded, and/or seen as what they really are. humans are so capable to destroy, we are just as capable of bringing harmony. thanks again.

Oh, I'm not an adopter. I'm more of a foster for cats.

This is so timely, ~thedarkcloak and I are about to adopt a menagerie of pets

Just about everything I do has an application in mind. I just haven't found the resources to get them properly done.
I'll keep working on it.

Please do! Have you thought about doing some stickers and posters for Convergence since you're in the Twin Cities as well? We go and it's a lot of fun and very quirky, and I think your work would do well and reach a lot of creative curious people. Perhaps we'll see you round sometime

I'm pretty sure that's not my scene. But thanks for offering.

Yeah I used to volunteer at a cattery cleaning out the cats - and they tend to be a lot more thankful for your attention than the average moggy!

We adopted my cat, and he's the best friend a girl could have!

That is awesome.
My family takes in cats we find outside and people bring us cats that they find, and we get them healthy enough to be put up for adoption. [We actually have a kitten that my friend found outside just a few days ago, she's on my bed behind me
I will always adopt or take in my pets, I will never buy them from a pet store.

We got my cat from the local SPCA shelter. Her name is Maggot and she's the most delightfully natured little moggy.

That's why I went to the animal shelter simply for a mouse. Everyone kept asking me why I didn't just go to the pet store; I told them I didn't want to support the industry.
Very well executed picture.

I worked at a shelter for months. It made me feel more than ever that shelter pets are the best. Especially pit bulls. The animals at the shelter seem so grateful for the slightest bit of attention or food, no matter how abused they had been, whereas already pampered pedigree pooches seem to be more independent and demanding. Not to say abuse is a good thing, but shelter animals actually -need- someone, they don't have a guaranteed future.
I love the little heart...

My wife and I foster cats through a pet rescue agency. Most of the animals we have coming through our house are not abused - just neglected or unwanted.
But, since we raise them till their adoption - we know their personality, their problems, what traits they have, and any medical issues that they need to address. We are able to tell the perspective adopters everything they might want to know.
You won't get THAT kind of info from a pet store.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
definitely not.
I always tried to use the cards that you could hang on the cages to describe their personality, and even things like medical probs, bad teeth that need fixed, or if they don't get along with other dogs/cats/etc... the guys at the shelter said I shouldn't do that as it turns people off from adopting, but shouldn't they know how to care for the animal, and to keep it away from other dogs if it was used as a fighting dog and could potentially kill any dogs they already have? -_-

Our philosophy is to tell the possible future owner everything. The pets we have were already returned once -- it doesn't help at all to create a situation where the owner will likely return the animal again.

Heh I agree with adopting all of my animals have been mostly adoptees except for 2 of my reptiles.
But remember there's a difference between responsible breeders and Back yard breeders and animals mills.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Agreed -- and, again, if a person does the research - they'll find that difference.
Otherwise, American humane animal laws have a lot of catching up to do with Europe's standard. So the odds are better at a rescue agency.

Brilliant. I could see this as some type of an ad, possibly a billboard. Great work.
