Therefore, I have always wondered if there were purebred dogs available through Humane Society adoption or not, as there are many pets that need a good home. My girlfriend and I would love to have a Boston Terrier, but as good citizens we decided it would be better to adopt rather than buy – we can save money and help a poor dog in need of a good home.
I did some research online and apparently there are purebred rescue groups all over the country that specialize in certain breeds, and there is a number on the website: (202) 452-1100. He says to ask about the pet section and mention that you’re looking for a breed rescue group in your local area.
Also, according to the Humane Society, purebred dogs make up about 25% to 30% of an animal shelter’s population, which is a decent amount, so your chances of getting a purebred dog in a shelter are quite good. It doesn’t hurt that we’re also in the Boston area.
There are also some websites for animal adoption shelters, such as Pets 911, Petfinder, and 1-800-SAVE-A-PET. They all have links to Find a Shelter, with listings of animals that are in local shelters; there aren’t as many as you had thought, which is a good sign, but you may not have the time or ability to list them all. of their animals.
