Why Adopt From A Rescue?
There are so many great reasons to adopt your next best friend.
Thinking about getting a pet in Sioux Falls, but not sure if you should adopt from a rescue group? At Almost Home Canine Rescue, we understand that you have many choices when it comes to finding a new four-legged family member. Here are just a few reasons why adopting from a rescue is a decision you can feel great about.
Save A Life
Every year, over one million cats and dogs are euthanized in shelters across the country. Many of these animals are healthy, loving pets who simply ran out of time or space. When you adopt from a rescue, you are directly saving a life and opening up a spot for another animal in need. Your decision to adopt gives a deserving pet a second chance at happiness.
Fight Against Puppy and Kitten Mills
Puppy and kitten mills are factory-style breeding facilities that prioritize profit over the well-being of animals. Dogs and cats in these operations are often kept in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions with little to no veterinary care. By choosing to adopt from a rescue instead of purchasing from a pet store or online seller, you help reduce the demand that keeps these cruel operations in business.
You Support The Pets And People In Your Community
Rescue groups like Almost Home Canine Rescue are volunteer-run organizations made up of people in your own community who are passionate about helping animals. When you adopt, your adoption fee goes directly toward veterinary care, food, supplies, and the ongoing costs of rescuing more animals. You are not just gaining a pet — you are investing in the well-being of animals and people right here in Sioux Falls and the surrounding area.
