There are thousands of dogs and cats sitting alone in pounds and shelters waiting and hoping that they will be chosen for a loving home 

Over 100,000 cats, dogs and other animals have been surrendered. Of these over a third were euthanised. 

Please please please go to a rescue, pound or shelter to get your new best friend. There are so many, dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs in desperate need of a home. And remember the best breed is a rescue!
