Often
rescue groups are breed specific, so you may not only
choose the breed of dog you want, but you will become a real hero
by adopting a furry friend.
According to the survey, 36 percent indicated they'd
choose purchasing a pet over adoption because they wanted a purebred pet, while 34 percent said the shelter did not have the type of pet they wanted, which may indicate that these respondents are unaware of breed - specific
rescue groups or online resources for shelters that have filtering
by breed or type.
