I don't understand why anyone would buy a dog rather than adopt one. Why help an industry that keeps growing and gets less and less careful with the animals themselves. They don't care about the dogs, they care about the money they make. Adoption centers take care of the dogs and really try to save the animal's lives. Also, if you can get a pet for free, why bother paying for it? Because you need to make sure the dog is pure breed? Why does it even matter? What makes a breed better or more worth than another? I'm proud to say that every single pet I have ever owned came from either the streets or a shelter.
