It’s almost summertime and do you know what that means? It means that animal shelters across the nation will be filled to capacity with puppies, kittens, dogs, cats and other animals who need good homes.

Who can resist that cute little puppy or furry kitten? You should if you don’t plan to make and keep a longtime commitment to that puppy or kitten.

If you seriously are thinking about adopting a pet from a shelter, don’t overlook the older, adult dogs because they need just as much love and attention as the little ones do. Choose a dog that is right for you. If you are active, look for an active, playful breed of dog. If you prefer more subdued activities, look for a dog that will be a good companion as you putter around the house or watch television.

If you can’t adopt an animal from your local shelter, at least do the smart thing and get those dogs and cats you own spayed or neutered. By doing this, you are being a responsible pet owner and not contributing to the already exploding overpopulation of unwanted dogs and cats.

If you don’t own a dog (or cat), you’re missing out on a lot of love and companionship.
