2. Adopting means you’re able to find a fuzzbutt to suit your own unique character. Most pets at shelters have matured into their own personalities, so it’s a “what you see is what you get” kinda deal.

After a dog that like you, has a neo-punk edge and an adoration of chin tickles? Got it. Scouting a cat that shares your love of The Good Wife marathons because no other human does? Say no more.

3. You’ll most likely be gifted with loved-up looks of gratitude like this til’ the end of your furbaby’s days. So hopefully you enjoy puppy dog eyes.

4. Mo’ money, less problems.

5. If your adopted pet has a tumultuous past, they will always be a living reminder of survival and perseverance. Looking at their expressive eyes, swaggy little limp or scars each day might take the sting out of your dark times.
