“San Diego Humane Society educates the community about animals in so many ways. Just to mention a few: Adoptions counselors have an in-depth conversation with prospective adopters to ensure they can take care of the pet they want to adopt. The Behavior & Training team offers classes for the community and has a free helpline to call.”

“They adapt faster: Mature animals are likely to settle into a home more easily and quickly than younger pets, often due to past experiences living in houses among people or other pets."
“What you see is what you get: Unlike adopting a puppy or kitten, you already know what a senior animal’s full size, personality and required care will likely be. This makes it easier to pick an animal who is the right fit for you,” she shared with Bored Panda.

Adopt: If you’re thinking about adding a pet to your family, San Diego Humane Society urges you to consider adoption first. By opening your home to a shelter pet, you give a deserving animal a second chance while creating critically needed space for other pets in need. Right now shelters and rescues have more puppies in their care than ever before too, so even if you want a puppy, please choose adoption first.”
