Why to Adopt Dogs from a Rescue Center/Pound

Dogs are always great pets and when choosing them I recommend getting them from the pound or rescue center. But when choosing you need to be careful with your choices.  If you chose correctly though, you can have a great pet. I will also go over the steps you need to take with this new pet. First you need to figure out what your situation at home is. Then you go and tell the assistant and they will direct you to the dogs that are suitable to your situation. After this you should choose the dog you like then take it home. If you would like,  at most adoption center/pounds there is a 7 day testing where you can take the dog home and then take it back and get a refund if the dog does not fit your situation. Now you can see how your dog reacts to the new environment (home, apartment, etc) and then keep them if you like the dog. Some extra work may be needed to be taken for behavioral issues.

As for myself I think adopting a dog is an amazing thing for 3 reasons. The first one is that you are saving that dog’s life because if nobody adopts that dog then it could be euthanized (killed). The second reason is that the dog is a bundle of surprises like a birthday present but in a companion that can last forever. Yes in the beginning the dog may have a few issues but if they are not too severe then they can be fixed with a little bit of hard work. The third and final reason is that dogs are amazing animals and just getting the dog itself is a good reason! This is why dogs should be adopted from pounds and adoption centers. Maybe the next one found will be the one for you so go and check out the pound or adoption center near you.

Dodd & 1/2 Days

As you all know students from schools walk home from school on half days or meet at a specific location. But what the people who are picking them up don’t know is what they are doing before they get to them. They either vandalize, run across streets in packs, or just break most of the laws. There is no way for people to prevent this from happening because people can’t stop them. People on the streets stop and tell them off, but they don’t care they will just do it again the second they leave. Also the most common place the students go is the Maple Croft Plaza. After they eat, usually at Subway, they either leave or just throw their trash onto the ground. Lately I saw that two girls who got a shopping cart, one got into the cart and the other one pushed her/him. Also when the students are done eating they usually walk to the Getty Mart. If they want to get there they have to cross Route 10. When they do cross they usually run in packs and not on the cross walk they just run for it hoping cars will stop for them as they cross. This is an issue because this could effect how Dodd students are treated later on in the school year.
