Hi! My name is Heiley and today i will be talking about the benefits of adopting a pet.

have you ever thought about adopting? I've always wondered what it would be like to adopt a puppy or a cat.

Then, i think about all of the responsibilities that comes with adopting a pet

I do love to think about how I can help an animals life by providing a home and love

I personally am currently planning on adopting a pet. Why? because every day there is a possibility that I can save an animals life

You are probably thinking to yourself Is it worth it? or should i really spend all of that money on a pet?

It is a huge responsibility and it requires a lot of your time but there are many benefits your pet will get from you and you will get from your pet as well

I believe that adopting, whether is s dog, cat or any other animal in need of a home will help you with your mental and emotional state

first, I would like to inform you about how difficult it is for an animal to find a home and how you can save their lives by providing them with a home. .

Many animals are left alone in the streets without food or water.

According to Lisa barley in VT Special, “7.6 million pets enter shelters annually”

Many dont even make it to a shelter because they die from the weather conditions.

many animals have a hard time finding a home, especially older animals

Many people tend to adopt the puppies and just younger animals because they are considered to be more cute and adorable than the older ones

If are considering adopting a pet, you should definitely try fostering one first because it gives you the real experience of what it takes to take care of an animal.

adopting a pet does not mean making your pet a prisoner at home without you spending time with your pet.

Having a pet can also help you keep yourself healthy.

According to research in the American Journal of Cardiology, "pet-owning victims of cardiac arrest are likely to survive at least an additional year after the heart attack. In fact, dog ownership may be the most helpful medicine for a post-heart attack life.”

this is very interesting because animals can sense their owner being sick before they do.

and can help you recover I mean emotionally will support you from and help you with your mental state when your sick.

by adopting a pet you are already provided with protection and you also get to have a companion that can help you relieve stress, anxiety and lots of emotional support

They provide emotional support

It is crucial for you to be responsible in order to adopt a pet

animals need a lot of attention just like a kid does

They need food, water, time to go for a walk, playtime, time to go pee, poop, they have a lot of necessities just like a kid does .

It is important to manage your time wisely and most importantly, create a good relationship with your pet

You have to be able to make your pet trust you.

There is an important topic I would like to talk to yall first. the I important of adopting instead of buying one.

One of the main differences between adopting and buying is that adopting is way more cheaper

Most animals are already neutered since shelters are trying their best to prevent other animals from having to live in the streets

if you are interested in adopting, you should definitely be very responsible and think about what it takes and if you are ready for it.

because they will need your attention and love

Once you do adopt, you will start seeing that your mood will improve and you will most likely be less stress because you will have a companion with you

I encourage you to think about adopting to provide more happiness to your life and also save a life.
