Why would you get a pet from a breeder or a pet shop? Why? The top three reasons why you should adopt a pet from the Lonsdale RSPCA Animal Shelter:
1. The staff won't let you take an animal unless you've bonded. You need to stroll those depressing aisles, pick your pet, and spend some proper time with it in one of their booths. Only once you've proved that you actually get on with the animal can you get one.
2. You can't take the cat/dog/boa constrictor without it being fully vaccinated and de-sexed. And compared to vet charges the RSPCA do it pretty cheap. The staff are excellent and give you lots of useful information and advice.
3. And of course the most obvious reason: you're doing a good thing for the animal kingdom. You're taking a sad, lonely, rejected little creature and giving it a home and care and love. Now if only we could set up the same sort of system for single people. read more
