October Is Adopt-a-Dog-Pet Month North Carolina Rottweiler Rescue (NCRR) celebrates October as Adopt-a-Dog Month. In the relentless “busy-ness” of modern life, there aren’t enough hours in the day. NCRR has become overscheduled and overwhelmed. This holiday season may be an excellent time to put balance in your life and adopt a homeless pet. Imagine a pet that loves sharing quiet moments, a pet that is already trained and doesn’t chew or scratch everything in sight and a pet that is completely focused when you’re sharing your wisdom. At animal shelters and rescue groups everywhere, there are loving, healthy adult pets looking for that one special home to cherish them for the rest of their life. And they don’t ask for much: just a warm place to sleep, good meals and plenty of love. Puppies and kittens are cute, without a doubt. Who can resist a playful, wiggling ball of fluff? They are always the first to be adopted, yet in the same organization, there are wonderful adult pets no less deserving of a happy home. They look hopefully through the wire of their kennels just waiting for a family to welcome them into their home. Adult pets still have plenty to offer not the least of which is love. Make no mistake, adult pets can and do bond very strongly with adopters. Many seem to understand they have been given another chance at a happy life and are grateful for the opportunity to love someone and be loved in return. Consider balancing your life and give a deserving senior a second chance. Instead of passing by adult pets, stop and spend some time with them you may find the most wonderful companion possible!
