Over the years, hundreds of scientific studies have shown that having a pet around can improve our health. There’s evidence that pets can lower one’s stress, decrease blood pressure and even lower risk of heart disease. In addition to improving our health, these four-legged friends can even make our lives happier and better.
However, the human-pet bond is not only based on one-sided benefits. Pets also need care and attention to keep them healthy, happy, and safe. For this reason, people start going to animal shelters to adopt pets and give them a happy home.

“So I went to go look at some cats today at a shelter and there was a little skinny cat named Jimmy Dean (like the breakfast sandwiches) and he was purring and sitting on my lap and I asked the volunteer what the adoption process was like and she explained it and then said, “Hear that, Jimmy Dean, you might have a home for Christmas!”
