While I don’t recommend adopting an animal for someone else, without them meeting the animal, I would like to give a shout-out to one of my favourite causes: #AdoptDontShop!
So many animals linger in animal shelters, just waiting for their “furever” home!
And, what could be more romantic then taking your sweetheart to find a wonderful pet of their own!
It’s a “Happily Ever After” fairy tale, for sure!
If you’re at a loss for a gift, many animal shelters can also get you a gift certificate for a future adoption! Or you can make your own!
Don’t have room for a pet in your life but you know your significant other loves animals…make a donation to a local animal shelter, or even sponsor a pet seeking a home in your loved one’s name!
Hope your Valentine’s Day is lovely, no matter where your own heart is!
Find your furry or scaly or feathery love of your life by running a search on Petfinder.org!

I’m all for adopting a pet! I hate to go in pet stores and see those poor animals all cooped up in tiny glass boxes and being sold for around $1000. I always want to break in at night and let them all out! Lol

Me too! And puppy mills that supply pet stores are just awful.

I love the idea of gift certificates for future adoptions. I also love sponsoring animals, sponsorships make great gifts especially of animals like Horses and donkeys. 🙂

Oh, yeah, I didn’t put in pics for horses and donkeys, but, yes, rescue of animals like that…farm animals, too–chickens, goats, pigs! Thanks for reminding me!

Well, I love animals, so I probably should have done this first thing on that day, but I took inspiration from our chat, and turned it into a post! *smiles*

Yeah, that’s the problem with animal lovers–we’re often at capacity! (Just wanted to ask…is it not clear that those are stock photos from Canva and not actual adoptable animals?)
