If you're thinking about bringing a new pet into your home, whether it's a reptile or a dog, one of the first questions people ask is whether they should visit a local animal shelter. I should adopt a pet or buy from a breeder. While there are certainly some advantages to buying from a breeder, we're hoping you'll choose to adopt your pet, and we've compiled a list with several reasons we hope to convince you. may think that this is a option better. Read on as we explain why it's best to adopt your next pet.

11 Best Benefits of Having a Pet:

1. You make more friends.

It may seem strange that adopting a pet can help you make more friends, but it's true, especially if your pet is a dog. A dog will force you to leave your home because it needs frequent walks, so you'll run into people you start to recognize on those trips. These people will become friends with time. Even if you're not adopting a dog, you'll find many people with the same animal who have similar questions about how to properly care for them. This endless search for answers will make you many friends along the way. Adopting your own pet will make you even more popular because you are a hero.

2. You're more likely to avoid a heart attack.

A study in the American Journal of Cardiology shows that pet owners have a better chance of survival at least one year after a heart attack. Also the study suggests that dogs are the most effective because one dog only owner died during the study.

3. Adopting animals can help with PTSD.

We've all seen videos of soldiers reuniting with their dogs, and most of us recognize that dogs can help us through difficult times in our lives. Walter Reed Memorial Hospital even has a program to help rehabilitate soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder. The good news for non-dog owners is that any pet can help us through these difficult times because we care for them, and they need us.

4. Adopting a pet can lower blood pressure.

According to a Harvard Health paper, several studies show that dog owners generally have lower blood pressure than non-dog owners. Most experts agree that dogs and other pets have a calming effect on humans. Dogs also help owners be more active, which can help lower blood pressure.

5. Dogs can help addicts recover.

Stress and other environmental factors can cause relapse in addiction and alcohol recovery. Adopting a pet can be a great way to help reduce stress levels to make recovery more manageable. In fact, some rehabilitation centers, such as Promise, already use dogs as part of their treatment programs.

6. Reduction in the need for medication.

Some studies show that having a dog assist in rehabilitation therapy after surgery can reduce the need for human medication by up to 28 percent. Most experts suggest that it's the pet's ability to relieve stress and lower blood pressure that leads to less pain, so less need for medication.

7. Pets make great wingmen.

Both men and women have plenty of stories of using their dogs as a way to meet potential mates. Walking your pet will put you in touch with many people, and some may become more than just friends.

8. Free adoption of critical resources

Main reasons one of the we encourage people to adopt instead of using a breeder or pet store is that doing so will help free up resources that can help other pets in need. Most shelters are at or near capacity and don't have the funding or support from the community to keep pets long-term, so it's important to adopt when possible.

9. Adoption is less expensive.

You can usually adopt even rare animals from a breeder or pet store. In many cases, foster pets will have already received some of the shots they need and may even be spayed or neutered, which in some cases will save you the initial purchase price. Saves hundreds of dollars.

10. You can take your pet home immediately.

If you're used to dealing with breeders, you know that many have a long process you have to go through before you get your dog, which can last for months, and that's why That is if there aren't already many people waiting ahead of you. In some cases, you may have to wait a year or more before you can take your pet home. Adoption is very quick, and you can usually take your pet home the same day.

11. You are a hero

The best reason we can give you to adopt a pet is that you are saving its life. As we mentioned earlier, most animals are at maximum capacity and receive little help to feed and shelter the animals. The longer an animal sits in a shelter, the more likely it is to die. According to PETA, animal shelters take in more than 6 million animals each year, but nearly 4 million are homeless. Many animals die in brutal and painful ways. You can help prevent this problem by adopting our pets at the shelter and making sure your pet is spayed or neutered, so it doesn't end up as a homeless animal.

Abstract

We feel that the best reason to adopt a pet rather than buying it from a pet store or breeder is that you are saving that pet's life. Adoption almost always saves you a lot of money, and you can usually take the pet home. You're also freeing up resources so that animals in need can get shelter, food, and treatment that they might not otherwise get. If you've ever adopted a pet that spent some time in a shelter, they are especially grateful to you and give you lots of love and affection that only grows with time.

We hope you enjoyed reading our list, and that it helped answer your questions. If we've convinced you to avoid the pet store and breeders for your next pet, please share these 11 benefits of adopting a pet on Facebook and Twitter.
