Unless you’re putting your animal in shows, why tf would anyone care about having a pure breed? Get a mutt that resembles what you want, and you should be good to go (and have a healthier animal).
Some people allergic, some breed made for those people to not get reaction. Maybe mixing make problem worse again?
That’s kind of niche tbh and about the only dirty of breeding that sounds healthy to me. Not based on impossible aesthetic standards, I mean.
it’s also not true. hypoallergenic dogs/cats are just marketing nonsense designed to appeal to rich weirdos who want to spend five figures on dog because they think nothing has any value if they pay less than that.
The adoption fee at my shelter is $150 for dogs. Dogs are chipped, fixed, and up-to-date on vaccines. The day my wife and I adopted our guy, they were taking a hundred bucks off the adoption fee for large dogs. We walked in expecting to adopt a small dog, but the one we wanted to meet was adopted out and left ten minutes before we got there. So we went and looked at the other dogs. And then we stumbled across this big guy in the back of his cage, head cocked to the side, ears way too big for his head, not making a sound. My wife tells the staff she wants to meet him. We spent a whole 90 minutes trying to coax him out from under chairs. He was terrified.
Naturally, we took him home. And here he is an hour after getting there.
He stayed under my desk for the next three days.
He goes to the park once or twice a day, daycare once a week, and was in weekly group training for four months. He is so so so much more confident now. It’s been just the most rewarding thing watching him come out of his shell.
Bonus: Here he is a couple weeks ago being murdered to death by one of the puppies at the park.
We’ve had him for about a year. He turns 2 in a few months.
Absolutely adorable. What a cool little guy
being murdered to death
Is this an EpicNate reference or somenhing you came up with? Anyway, nice one and lovely story you have there :)
D’awwww
All that and we dont have his name???!!
His name is Sherlock. Here’s a different post of him. He’s mostly Pit Bull, but he also has some Chow Chow, Boxer, German Shepherd, and Husky.
Reminds me of a joke:
-“Yesterday, I went to a zoo and the only exhibition they had was a single dog.”
-“Oh wow, that sounds horrible!”
-“Yeah, it was a shitzu!”
I unironically feel superior having adopted wounded and hungry animal
I don’t know why I did it as I am not really the best person in my mind
Fish a cat out of a dumpster with a piece of shrimp on a string, it’s not hard
Exist near a barn in the spring.
Like there aren’t cats for many thousands too?
This is my actual real life human daughter. I adopted her from the RSPCA. She has a condition called felineitis, so please dont bully her. Also she’s nonverbal and extremely sensitive to stimulus, so be patient with her.
I have a feeling OP posted this as bait, so people would post cute pics of their rescued dogs.
And I commend this effort. Moar doggos pls.
It’s working out splendidly.
I have animals pay me for the privilege of being my pets.
Where’s your FinDom page on OnlyFans?
Cat 1: adopted from someone on Reddit who had taken in a preggo stray.
Cat 2: adopted from a shelter, was found in a hoarder house.
Cat 3: adopted from a shelter, was found in a Penske truck.
Foster cat: appeared on our window ledge, theory is she was dumped with her litter outside the pet shop nearby.I’m anticipating more rescues in our future because people are selfish assholes who think spaying is cruel, but are totally ok with overpopulating the world with cats that don’t receive adequate care and often die lonely.
High as balls cat 3 (Fran) after her gabapentin fueled vet day.
Just shows how much stay cats and cat breeding is much more of an issue than stray dogs and dig breeding.
You really gotta delete your autocorrect and rebuild it…
I spent $25 to adopt my cat from my local humane society and now he’s my best friend in the whole world.
He’s got the friendliest face omg
He’s the sweetest cat I’ve ever met. He loves to snuggle with me and he follows me around my apartment wherever I go. And he loves pets and belly rubs.
That sounds wonderful. Cat-dogs are the best.
He’s beautiful
Don’t act like there aren’t cat breeders selling Persians and Sphinxes for thousands.
Don’t forget Ragdolls
My friends wife bought one of those she would never tell us how much they paid for it. They ended up offering it to me for free a few years later but I already had a cat that was not receptive to the idea. It was a really cool cat though. It would play fetch with you.
All my dogs have been mutts that we adopted off the streets as puppies.
there are also purebred cats that cost 4-5 figures.
That to me just tells how many cats there are on the streets
I heard a statistic some years ago, have no source so they may have just pulled it from thin air, that there is a 14 to 1 ratio of cats to people in the US.
