ASPCA’s Adopt a Shelter Dog Month in October

By October 18, 2018 July 8th, 2019 blog

This October, won’t you consider pet adoption in Cambridge? It is more important than ever before to provide homes for the many homeless dogs, cats, and other companion animals that crowd shelters and that are euthanized annually. Veterinary providers, including those at the Emergency Veterinary Clinic of Waterloo Region, offer services and care to support your pet adoption and help keep your new family member healthy and happy.

Each year, around 6.5 million companion animals enter shelters, and many of them never find their forever home. ASPCA hosts an annual event to promote adoption and inform the public of the growing number of homeless pets in this country.

Cambridge Area Pet Adoption

Adoption events, fundraisers, and celebrations take place across the country to help inform potential adopters of available pets, as well as the many advantages that dogs and cats bring. For instance, pet ownership provides purpose and social engagement, providing companionship for the lonely and lifting spirits of those with depression or mood disorder.

How Your veterinarian Can Help

Veterinarians widely are promoting this annual event, while also encouraging responsible people to adopt shelter pets this October. The Emergency Veterinary Clinic of Waterloo Region can help with your new puppies, check them in, and give them a clean bill of health before you take them home. Your veterinarian may also have advice and insight into how to best integrate a new dog into your home environment.
