I am really against breeding animals. There are way too many animals in shelters that are perfectly wonderful pets that need homes. I think it's so ridiculous to pay tons of money for an animal when you could get one at a shelter. I do realize there are benefits to owning a pure-bred animal (supposedly less health issues, etc.) but there are so many animals that you can get from a shelter that live perfectly healthy lives.
That said, I am in love with Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. IN. LOVE. This poses a problem for me, because most likely I will not be able to find one in a shelter. I will not pay hundreds of dollars for one; I refuse. I'm hoping that maybe I will be able to find one that someone is giving away (it certainly does not have to be full breed). I mean, come on, look at this face!
Even though this dog is so beautiful and precious, I still think I'd be perfectly be happy to find a fuzzy, scruffy mutt like this little guy who was in the movie Hotel for Dogs, who I fell in love with.
Cute right? Before you go and pay a lot of money for an animal, go visit a shelter and give a sweet, homeless animal a chance!
"In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." (Job 12:10)
