Shelter Sends Out Desperate Plea Urging People to Give Small Dogs a Chance
Let’s be honest for a second: One of the most amazing things about animal shelters across the U.S. is that they have dogs of all shapes and sizes to suit the needs of potential adopters. It’s for this reason that shelters never tire of making the public aware of all the amazing dogs languishing in their kennels.
Sadly, there’s a widely held assumption out there that shelters are only populated with big dogs; an assumption that makes many people not bother to find out what else these awesome facilities have to offer. If this sounds like you, we come bearing good news: you’re mistaken.
There are countless small dogs stuck in shelters waiting for you to change their lives forever, and one particular shelter in Huntley, Illinois, is calling on all small dog lovers to give their pups a chance.
Small Adoptable Dogs in Plenty
Animal House Shelter has dispelled this assumption in a TikTok video by showing the several small dogs in their facility without a forever home.
A caption accompanying the video reads: “Just because we are a shelter doesn’t mean we don’t have small dogs! We currently have so many adoptable and soon-to-be adoptable small dogs. So keep an eye on our website or come meet them at Animal House Shelter in Huntley, Illinois.”
The seconds-long video captures various small, loveable pups inside different kennels, each seemingly eager to have a place to call their own. Animal House Shelter’s plea brings to light one important thing: if you have a soft spot for small dogs and are thinking of getting one, you don’t have to go through the purchase route to get your perfect companion.
“Small dogs are widely available for adoption — you do not need to buy a puppy or go to a breeder to own,” pet rescue advocate, Rocky Kanaka, says.
Give One of These Small Dogs A Happy Ending
There’s no denying that there are many advantages that come with owning a small pup. As Rocky puts it: “Maybe your budget would be stretched by feeding Goliath the Great Dane. Or your apartment isn’t that big. Or you’re concerned for your own safety. Perhaps you just want a canine companion that will be around for many years to come. Whatever the case, thinking about small dogs for adoption may be the right choice for you.”
Animal House Shelter is counting on you to offer their small canine residents the forever homes they desperately desire. If you’d love to give one of these furry beauties a happy ending, please check out the shelter’s website to get a glimpse of all the small dogs awaiting adoption.
