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!
