Adopting a shelter dog is a great way to add a furry family member into your life. In addition to getting a loving companion, you’ll also be making a difference in the world. If those things don’t make your eyes light up, then the Plano Animal Shelter may not be for you.
But if this sweet faces makes you melt, then there are many more adorable animals that would love to find a place in your heart and home.
BTW, this is Henry and we adopted him from the Plano shelter about 2 weeks ago.
Isn’t he just the cutest little guy??
In my family, we have rescued all of our dogs. And I mean ALL of them.
In fact, I cannot remember a time in life without a dog. Every dog throughout my life has been a blessing adding so much love and color to our household adventures.
It is to be noted that losing a pet is beyond painful, the amount of delight and pleasure is worth it.
And yes, I know that pain all too well as we just lost our sweet labradane Dutch.
7 Reasons to go to the Plano Animal Shelter
You want to save all the dog’s lives
- Adopting a Plano animal shelter dog saves a life. Every year, millions of dogs are euthanized in shelters because they don’t find homes.
You have more room for love in your life
- Shelter dogs are just as loving and loyal as dogs from breeders. In fact, many shelter dogs have already been housebroken and trained, so you can skip the puppy stage altogether.
You can stay on budget
- The adoption fees at shelters are much lower than the cost of buying a dog from a breeder. This means you can save money and still get a great companion. That extra savings can go towards new leashes, crates, toys, bones and all the lovely things.
It’s good for the community
- When you adopt a dog from the Plano animal shelter, you’re helping to make your community a better place. Shelters rely on adoption fees to stay in operation, so by adopting a dog, you’re helping to support a valuable community resource.
You’ll set a great example
- If you have children, adopting a dog is a great way to teach them about compassion and responsibility. It’s also a great way to show them that it’s possible to find love and companionship in unexpected places.
Improved quality of life
- Studies have shown that people who own dogs are happier and healthier than people who don’t. So if you’re looking for a way to improve your life, consider adopting a dog from a shelter.

Dogs are loving and loyal companions. Rescue dogs have been through a lot in their lives, but they are still capable of great love and loyalty. They will be your best friend through thick and thin. They can help reduce stress and anxiety. Studies have shown that petting a dog can lower blood pressure and heart rate. Most people who ae out walking their dogs stay petty fit and trim. They can definitely help you get more exercise. They can make you feel happier and more connected to your community. Taking your dog for walks or to the park is a great way to meet new people and make friends. In fact, our neighbors will say hi to our dogs and use their names because some of them don’t even know our names =) Gotta love it!
If you are thinking about getting a pet, I encourage you to consider adopting a rescue dog from Plano Animal Shelter. They make wonderful companions and can enrich your life in many ways.
