Welcome to the second blog of my weekly posts. This week I will be focusing on a different topic that needs your attention.You may think of cats and dogs as just pets but they are much more than that, a cat or dog can be your best friend and companion for their entire life. There are over thousands of animals in our area who are in great need of a home. This is an issue we can fix easily just as NBC10 has attempted with much success with their "Clear the Shelter" Day on August 15, 2015. During that day NBC10 partnered with 30 area animal shelters and waived all adoption fees so others can be attracted and encouraged to adopt through a shelter. However, there is still a problem with the adoption of animals as only 20 percent of people who adopt do it from a shelter. The other 80 percent chose a pet store which does not benefit abandoned and homeless animals in the streets. Due to the success of "Clear the Shelter" Day I believe we could solve this problem of only 20 percent of pets being adopted from shelters to a much higher percentage if people who are interested in adopting a pet in the near future, and if they aren't thinking of adopting a pet we could use some "convincing" to make them want to adopt a pet, such as a big pit bull.
