Adoption and rescue of dogs, cats and other pets happen in many ways - strays that show up on your doorstep, shelter adoptions, via breed rescue groups, meet and greets at public events, and sometimes through your veterinarian. I have adopted my pets via all of these methods.
How did you find your new best friend? Was it love at first site, or an adoption after much consideration? Please tell us your story and share photos about your adopted pet, and what they add to your life.
