Adopt a Dog
And tell your friends to adopt dogs instead of buying in pet shops. Adopting dogs rather than buying from pet shops will save tens of thousands of dogs from being killed in shelters every year. Approximately 3,000 dogs are killed every day.
Spay or Neuter Your Dog
Spaying/neutering your dog prevents more homeless dogs.
Teach Your Children to Value Animals' Lives
Most children are born with an innate love for animals. It can either be fostered, or destroyed. Sadly for most, it is destroyed by the time children reach school age. Children learn by example. Compassionate children are raised by compassionate parents. When parents model empathy, eat a plant based diet, volunteer for animal related causes, extend mercy and care for animals that have been injured or that need a home, read books with animals as main characters, and support animal-friendly companies, they teach important values for being kind to animals.
