Adopt a Pet this Season Are you thinking about a pet for Christmas? Is your family ready to make a long-term commitment, both in time and money? If the answer is a resounding "yes," then consider adopting a pet from a shelter or rescue group. There are literally hundreds of thousands of pets who need homes. To find a shelter near you, check the yellow pages in your phone directory or see a listing by city in Pet Corner at alafarmnews.com. While adopting a pet from a shelter isn’t free, it is usually less expensive than buying from a breeder and has the added benefit of helping a pet in need, an appropriate Christmastime value. Some people avoid animal welfare organizations because they want a purebred. They’re surprised to find that many purebreds end up homeless.
