Animal shelters...

If you dream of having your own pet, consider visiting an animal shelter. This place is a home for numerous animals, mostly cats and dogs. Most of them have been abandoned by  their owners, some got lost. Shelters are often overfilled, with lots of dogs sharing their little cages. It's really a sad view. In many countries a person who wants to adopt a cat or a dog needs to pay a special charge. It's a good solution - it's a source of funds for a shelter and also a protection against evil people who may want to hurt animals. One thing is sure - an adopted dog or a cat will be your most loving, devoted and faithful friend. It will be grateful to you for giving them a new life.

Take a look at these lovely creatures which I have found in French shelters. They are adorable!
