Announcing our February Adoption Special!!!
$14 adoptions for ALL our cats and dogs no matter if they’re big or small, young or old. All of our dogs and cats will still come already spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.
February is the month of love. This includes love for others and self-love! Here are some benefits to owning a pet.
According to HelpGuide.org:
“Pets, especially dogs and cats, can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease loneliness, encourage exercise and playfulness, and even improve your cardiovascular health. Caring for an animal can help children grow up more secure and active. Pets also provide valuable companionship for older adults. Perhaps most importantly, though, a pet can add real joy and unconditional love to your life.”
—> Pet owners are less likely to suffer from depression than those without pets.
—> People with pets have lower blood pressure in stressful situations than those without pets. One study even found that when people with borderline hypertension adopted dogs from a shelter, their blood pressure declined significantly within five months.
—> Playing with a dog, cat, or other pet can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine, which calm and relax.
—> Pet owners have lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels (indicators of heart disease) than those without pets.
—> Heart attack patients with pets survive longer than those without.
—> Pet owners over age 65 make 30 percent fewer visits to their doctors than those without pets.
Share the love (for yourself and others) and come meet the wonderful pets we have available for adoption!
