Though October is almost over there is still time to visit your local animal shelter and adopt a new best friend. Of course any time of the year is a good time to adopt a pet however, this month many shelters are offering "adoption specials" making it even easier to provide a loving home for a homeless or mistreated puppy or dog.
You get unconditional love and save an animal from certain demise. It's a selfishly good thing to do!
