If you saw my post yesterday, you know I am pro-pet adoption. See the little guy we adopted yesterday HERE. In the comment section, Coupon Geek informed me that this site HERE gives a 1-month supply of dog food if you have recently adopted a pet. Adopting is definitely the way to go if you want to save some money, but more importantly you are helping to save a life and keep less animals out of shelters! So go pick up a friend, and then get a free 1-month supply of food HERE.

I have always supported adopting from shelters…so, three years ago, when we were ready to get a dog, we adopted one from a no-kill shelter. He was 2 years old, and seemed as sweet as could be. Three weeks later, on my twins’ 8th birthday, shortly before we were supposed to go to the church for their baptism service, I was watching as my daughter was petting the dog. He, unprovoked, suddenly barked loudly and bit her in the face. We spent the evening at the hospital getting her face stitched up, and she will bear the physical scar forever. The experience was emotionally traumatic for the entire family (I have 4 kids). No one ever mentioned the risks of shelter adoptions to us. It can be a good thing, but please, especially if you have kids, be very, very careful.

I’m sorry to hear that Becky. Unfortunately stuff like that can happen even with dogs people don’t get from a shelter. I’ve known that to happen with dogs people have raised from puppies. So please don’t blame that on shelter dogs. As with any pet, people should always be cautious with their children.
Thanks for the link-up, Crystal!
