Pets: Adoption vs. Purchase – by Jennifer Dugan
Spring is finally in the air and, for many people, that makes it the perfect time to start thinking about adding a new furry friend to their family. But, while the puppies and kittens in the pet store might look cute, adopting from a local shelter or rescue often proves to be a much better option in the long run.
Wendy Mongillo, President of Homes for Orphaned Pets Exist (H.O.P.E.,) says that animals from pet stores are often unhealthy and the product of poor breeding. “The majority of puppies in pet stores are from puppy mills, where the mothers are kept in small cages and are continuously bred for profit,” she said. “These dogs are often not cared for properly and the puppies are frequently not healthy. Purchasing these puppies from pet stores at extremely high prices keeps the puppy mills in business and the vicious cycle going.”

H.O.P.E. Pets for Adoption
Oliver is a Bassett/King Charles mix who is a very sweet and loving dog. Oliver has attended several adoption clinics and has behaved well, getting along with the people and dogs that were there. He's good with dogs and cats.
Like all HOPE dogs, Oliver is neutered, up to date on his shots, and micro-chipped. For more information, call Cathy at 518.424.2878.
Calvin is 5-year old St.Bernard/Bloodhound mix who is a very happy and playful dog. He's good with both dogs and cats and is housebroken. Because of his large size (120+ lbs), it is best that he not go to a home with small children.
Daisy is an extremely sweet black and white 1-year old female, who is soft as a bunny! She is very affectionate but still a bit shy. She wants to be held and cuddled but she's not sure who is safe just yet. Daisy is a purring machine and very playful! She loves catnip mice and likes hiding in a cat tunnel. She's very good at using the scratching post and hasn't scratched any furniture. Daisy gets along well with other cats and has lived with a large dog. She likes to rub against people and other cats and deserves a forever loving home!

HOPE Pets for Adoption
Bentley is a 3-year old neutered male Pomeranian, who is up to date on his shots and micro-chipped. He likes to ride in the car and is good with older children, dogs, and cats. He is house trained and crate trained. Bentley is like a fluffy teddy bear! He loves to be cuddled and he cuddles back quite willingly. He loves to play with balls and toys. When he gets excited he lays down on the floor throwing his head around in the cutest antics. Bentley walks well on a leash and understands the heal command. He also knows the sit and stay commands, and he will also stop barking on command. Due to Bentley's love of running, it would be best if his forever home have a fenced yard and be in a low traffic area.
For more information, please call us @ 518.986.3826
Gabby is an 8-month old, black and white female kitten. She's a sweet, independent & calm little lady.

H.O.P.E. Pets for Adoption
Vegas is a 7-year old caramel brown Boxer/Hound mix who is very sweet, very gentle, thoughtful, and well behaved. Because he loves being around people, he wants to be wherever you are. Vegas is a big snugger and a little bit of a goof ball. He has perfect potty habits; he always waits until we take him outside to "go". We are working on introducing Vegas to other dogs. It would better for him to go to a home with older kids..
Like all HOPE dogs, Vegas is neutered, up to date on his shots, and micro-chipped.

Zoe is a "delicate butterfly." This 7-month old long-haired tortoiseshell, flutters around seeking out your attention. When she is not snuggling with you or sitting on your lap, she becomes a great hunter, chasing her squeaky mouse or searching for bugs to conquer. She also enjoys having dinner with you; she will share her food with you and expects you to share your food with her. If you are looking for an affectionate companion that will protect you from insects (in your house) and will occasionally dine with you than Zoe is your gal!
Like all HOPE cats, Zoe is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, worming and tested negative for Feline Leukemia and FIV.
