Shelters and rescues are full of lovable, healthy, and active dogs just waiting for someone to adopt them. Open-intake shelters accept all dogs and cats, whether surrendered by their owners or picked up by animal control. These facilities may provide exceptional care, but they usually can’t get to know individual dogs well because they handle many animals.
Adopting a dog is truly a continuous cycle of saving lives, and it’s the humane thing to do! Not only are you saving a pet by adopting from a rescue or shelter, but you make room in the Rescue to save another pet from a shelter, or you make room in the shelter itself. Thanks for considering dog adoption, and please help dispel the myth of homeless pets in the future. The facility offers shelter, food, medical care by veterinarians, training, and advice on caring for rescued pets. Since they have fewer animals in their care and are picky, they know each dog better.
I am Kraig Wharton, a wildlife conservationist and a television personality. I am 30 years old. I was born and raised in the small town of Marion, Alabama. I have always had a love and respect for nature, which led me to pursue a career in wildlife conservation.
I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel all over the world, working with some of the most endangered species on the planet. My work has taken me to some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth, including war-torn countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
I am passionate about educating people about the importance of conserving our natural resources, and I am committed to doing whatever it takes to protect our planet for future generations.
