One of life’s greatest pleasures is the joy that comes with having a pet. The best way to get a pet is to adopt. Getting pets from breeders is unethical—especially since many of them end up with serious health problems.

For that reason, checking out shelters and adoption options is way better than buying them from people who are only in it for the money, rather than the love of animals. Adopting animals means you can get an older, or sick, animal, who are just as worthy of love—and every bit as cute!
