Although advertisements that try to prevent the abandonment of dogs and cats are shown on television every time, unfortunately today many end up on the streets or, if they are lucky, in some shelter where they are really lovers of the animals will look for a family for them.
But can animal suffering be avoided? Of course yes. It is enough to think well if we want to have him, and only if we can take care of him throughout his life should we look for our new friend. Let's know why animals are abandoned.
Misbehavior
If the animal does some damage, or if it spends the day meowing or barking, or if it is nervous and "for no reason" (in fact, there always is) it has attacked someone, the family may decide to get rid of it.
In the same way that we would educate the child to behave well, we must do the same with the furry that we have at home.
Unwanted litters
Both dogs and cats go into heat for the first time between 6 and 8 months. Each of them can have a litter of between 1 and 12 puppies, of which very few will get a good family.
If we can't take over, or if we don't want to, we have to take them to castrate both the male and the female.
Economic factors
It is true that it is important to have a little money to take care of the animal to be able to buy its food, but it is no less true that that friendship that you have with him will not mind eating other things, such as leftovers. Years ago that was what cats and dogs were given, and they were fine.
How many times have we seen people living on the street with their dogs on the Internet? Or, how many are trying to help cats even if they are not financially well off? Let's think about this before making a decision.
Address change
A move is often an incredible experience, expected by the whole family who wants to start a new life in another place. But sometimes in that dream there is no place for the furry of the house. Either because they do not allow animals, or because they are the people themselves who do not want to take them, the sad reality is that cats and dogs are also abandoned for this reason.
When we bring a furry dog into the house, we make a commitment to him that should last his entire life. An animal is not a throwaway object.
Abandonment is not a solution, but an excuse not to waste time on professionals who could help us.
