Millions of loving and healthy mixed breed dogs in shelters are waiting for someone to come and adopt them. National Mutt Day is a great way to find the right canine companion. Despite the name, a mutt learns, obeys, and trains much like purebred animals. Their lineage is elusive and their appearances a bit hazy, but their companionship will be faithful.
According to the ASPCA, nearly 3.3 million dogs enter shelters each year. Each one needs a permanent home when these abandoned and often abused animals find their way to a shelter. Whether you like it or not, their potential is limitless. Adoption is often skipped. Some of the benefits of adoption are often ignored. Both humans and canine enjoy increased physical fitness as a result of increased physical fitness. Daily walks give another boost to social interaction. While humans develop patience, their four-legged companion learns to trust and new boundaries. For example, shoes are off limits for dogs as they investigate the numerous scents of the human life.
No matter what the human's size, shape, or demeanor of the canine, er, canine, the shelter will take the time to find the right home for their animals. They plan visits and have policies in place to encourage healthy adoptions for families and individuals. Although some dogs suffer from injury or illness, the shelters work with veterinarians to heal the animals before making them available for adoption.
