I have been trying to adopt a dog now for about two weeks. I want to save a dog rather than buy one because it means I can save a life rather than buy a dog that is sellable & therefore saveable. I have joined/liked/followed several sites on FB that apparently want to save the animals. Yet, I have experienced people asking me for hilarious amounts of money, rudeness & supposed volunteers & animal lovers that seem to have no interest in animals at all. I have already taken in 2 cats from the streets - the mother just turned up & then bought me her daughter about a month later. I could not bare to separate them & took them both in as family. Has anyone else experienced difficulties with trying to adopt an animal here? Which charities are the best in taking a serious interest in saving animals? So far, I think PAWS is the best. Your opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
