Imagine if you will a world where there are few shelters, and those that remain are frequently empty. Where everyone who owns a pet loves them and considers the relationship an “until death do you part” type. Where all of those who are considering bringing a pet home does so with as much research as when buying a new car or choosing a college. So when a decision is finally made, it is an educated, well thought out decision, and not a spur of the moment, puppy in the window purchase, but a purchase that is knowledgeable of all of the pros and cons of the particular pet that the prospective owner is considering.

That is the goal of Buy Pets Responsibly. To encourage people to think before they buy a pet, so that they will know that the animal will fit with them, their lifestyle and personality. The more time people put into choosing the right pet, the happier they will be, and more animals will be in homes that also suit them. Fewer animals will end up being abused, neglected, rehomed, abandoned or turned into the shelters.

While in a perfect world, there would be no need for shelters, the reality is that there will always be a need. But together we can make it possible to make those places echo with emptiness. Join Buy Pets Responsibly in helping make the world a better place for both animals and their owners!
