Northeast Animal Shelter

  adopt_dog1.jpg

       The past few weeks I have and several people ask me my thoughts about rescue dogs and about shelters in general.  The questions have varied from where a good shelter is located to my thoughts on mix breeds vs. purebred’s.

I will always be a supporter of rescue dogs.  Riley is a rescue dog and she was the best fit for me.  I also prefer getting a mixed breed rather than a purebred.  I have found that they have less health issues and usually are smarter.  Now, this is my own opinion after being around so many mixed breed and purebreds.  Also, by adopting a pup, you are giving it a second chance to a good life.  I am in no way bashing purebreds but I do feel that if you are going to buy a purebred from a breeder, do as much research on that breeder as possible to avoid inbreeding.
Originally, I am from Salem, MA.  Which is the home of the Northeast Animal Shelter.  I am a big fan of this shelter not only because its in my hometown but because of the attention and care they give their four legged friends.  They have been around for a while but they just recently built a new facility.  They always have a wide variety of breeds and they get puppies in regularly.  So no matter if you are looking for and adult dog, or you would prefer to start fresh with a little pup, this shelter may just have your new family member.
