So we would always, you know, really encourage people to, to look at adopting, you know, there's lots of really good reasons to adopt.
So you're giving, you know, you are giving an animal a second chance.
The other thing is so that when you come through,
RSPCA or other, you know, other shelters is that they've been health checked and behaviour checked.
So you've got a reasonable understanding of what you're getting.
You also get really good quality advice.
So, you know, people who work in the shelters love what they do, happy to talk to you about what the requirements of different animals are and help you set up.
And there will always be ongoing advice coming from shelters around specific animals.
And RSPCA will help you regardless of where you got your animal from, quite frankly.
But there's a lot, we have the background on animals and we know that we try and get them toilet trained and what have you.
And it certainly, it helps with, you know, I suppose, reducing the demand on animals
on animals and just reducing oversupply in general.
To be really honest, in Australia at the moment there's an abundance of cats available through shelters.
With dogs it can be a little bit harder to find the right one because you have to balance, you know, what you can accommodate versus, you know, what's available at the shelter.
With cats I would say I can think of no reason why you couldn't
adopted a really suitable cat from a shelter we've got thousands of them and they're lovely and we have young ones and old ones and and
reasonable variety of breeds at different times too um with dogs um we still have a lot of dogs probably a little bit less choice so you do have to balance that up but all those dogs with all those animals that come from shelters are going to be desexed they're going to be vaccinated they're going to be microchipped uh and wormed and what have you so though that annual that's set up costs that i that i talked about which might have sounded a bit crass um that is vastly reduced so
Instead of having, you know, $900 plus the cost of your animal, it's probably more like the cost of the animal is $400 and there's probably only a few extra $100 in terms of setting up your bedding and your leads and all those sorts of things.
So certainly adopting is cheaper.
and much better value and has that feel good aspect of actually giving animals a second chance.
