Animals thrive on predictability and need exercise \u2013 taking regular walks with your dog is a great way to stay active and involved in your community. In addition, pets provide a source of unconditional love and companionship, as well as a feeling of security and protection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Rescue?<\/strong><br \/>\nFollowing are 5 reasons to adopt a rescue animal rather than getting a pet from a breeder:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Saving Lives.<\/strong> Adopting a rescue animal is actually saving two lives \u2013 the life of the animal you adopt and the space that opens up for another dog or cat in the shelter or rescue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost-Effective.<\/strong> Getting a dog from a breeder can be expensive and often does not include vetting costs. The cost of adopting a pet usually includes the cost of spay\/neutering the animal, first vaccinations and sometimes even micro-chipping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easier Training.<\/strong> Rescue animals tend to be slightly older and may be already house trained and less rambunctious, which can make the transition easier for both of you. Contrary to some beliefs, most animals are not surrendered because of behavior issues, rather the owner is moving away or can no longer care for the animal. Because many rescues rely on foster families to care for animals awaiting adoption, they can give potential new owners a sense of the dog\u2019s personality and habits. And many rescue groups will take the animal back if it is not a good match.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fewer Health Issues.<\/strong> Pure bred dogs are more likely to be predisposed to health issues such as hip dysplasia, heart defects and neurological disorders. Mixed breed dogs tend to have less inherited genetic health problems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Love Like No Other.<\/strong> As the owner of 6-year old rescue dog, Riley Petunia, a beagle mix that was saved from a high-kill shelter in Georgia, I can say with confidence that there is no greater love than from a dog that has learned to trust again. We cannot imagine our lives without her.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3601\" src=\"http:\/\/www.liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LYL_Guest-Blogger_Jennifer-Ryan_Adopt-A-Pet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"263\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LYL_Guest-Blogger_Jennifer-Ryan_Adopt-A-Pet.jpg 263w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LYL_Guest-Blogger_Jennifer-Ryan_Adopt-A-Pet-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LYL_Guest-Blogger_Jennifer-Ryan_Adopt-A-Pet-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LYL_Guest-Blogger_Jennifer-Ryan_Adopt-A-Pet-80x80.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/>Jennifer Ryan has served on the Pause 4 Paws Board of Directors since July of 2016 and became the Board President in 2017.\u00a0 She works in close partnership with the Pause 4 Paws Executive Director to plan and execute fundraising events and manages the organization\u2019s marketing and outreach efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Pause 4 Paws is a non-profit animal rescue organization that fundraises on behalf of 18 direct-service rescue groups in Minnesota and a rescue in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.\u00a0 In addition to fundraising, Pause 4 Paws works to facilitate adoptions and promote spay\/neutering throughout the animal rescue community.
