“Puppies for sale” is one of the top web-search phrases used by those looking to share their life with a furry companion or expand their existing menagerie. Sometimes people on social media, other websites, or even people down the street will offer “puppies for free.”
When looking for canine companionship, people often opt for a puppy because, well, they’re so darn cute. But many also believe adult dogs who’ve been abandoned or surrendered to shelters are somehow too damaged to make good family pets. Nonsense! The shelters are bursting with perfectly good dogs who need a little of your tender loving care to make them beloved members of your family — if only people would give them a chance.
