Dog Adoption or Puppies for Sale?

Looking for your next best friend? I recommend you look at your local animal shelter. There are so many good dogs and cats waiting to find their forever home.

 The best part is the low adoption fee which includes shots and clean bill of health. You can't get that from buying a dog or cat from a pet store.   A pet store will charge you a high fee just to purchase the pet. Then you have to take them to the vet for exam and shots. Which can add up real quick. The adoption fee is used to offset the expense of taking in and caring for the animal. So you will be helping, not only giving a pet a good home, but you will also help other animals that need a space at the shelter till they get adopted.

Where to find animal shelter in your area? Check out PetFinder. Here you will find shelters in your area and you can see a picture with description of each pet at the shelter. When you find a pet you like, set up a meet and greet to see if the pet is a good fit for you. You will also find answers to your adoption questions on PetFinder. It's a great tool to use. This is how we found Miss Daisy (pictured above).

Saving Dogs From Puppy Mills- How you can Help?

 

Helping dogs and pets is our business. That's why Ledfoots Pet Bakery signed up to pledge- We are a puppy friendly store. We believe in humane treatment for all animals.  Having heard too many horror stories from puppy mills, it's time to make a stand and get the word out. Please tell your family and friends about not supporting puppy mills. Have them look at their local animal shelter instead. The chance if you buy a puppy from a store, he or she probably came from a puppy mill. Lots of folks may not know this and teaching them the difference is your best way to help.

 

 

  

Ledfoots Pet Bakery believes in adoption. There are so many pure breed dogs at your local shelter who need their forever home. We're working with our local shelter and help in any way we can. That's why we donate 10% of proceeds to help buy food and cleaning supplies.  Have you shopped a store that supports causes like these? You can help to. If you shop with Ledfoots Pet Bakery you are supporting pets in need. You can also help in many different ways. Check with your local shelter they are always looking for volunteers or get a supply list and purchase what they need.  Local shelters also take donations so you can help in that way too. How ever you decide to help,  you are making a difference and are doing a good thing by saving lives and inhumane treatment.

Super Bowl and Puppy Bowl Fans!

So now we know which teams are going to the Super bowl 2014. Way to go Denver and Seattle and good luck. It should make for a great game.  We are football fans and love that there is a Puppy bowl. It's for a great cause. It gives awareness of the adoptable pets out there. All dogs and cats on the show are up for adoption and usually are all ready adopted by time they make it to the show.   So if you see someone you like on Puppy bowl and they have already been adopted, you can still find one just like him or her at your local shelter.

 

Our Puppy Bowl Pick of 2014 is Artemis (pictured above) she is 12 weeks old Lab/Sato mix. Isn't she adorable.

 

What is your favorite part of Puppy Bowl?  We enjoy the halftime show. Those kitties have a lot to play for and they don't hold back. How about the sky cam. I believe they have a hamster or gerbil enjoying the show from above.

 

We wish all pets on the show and at local shelters find their forever home soon.
