Shelter dogs receive spaying and neutering and sometimes, recommended shots, so that when you adopt one, you've cut your medical costs. Adult shelter dogs are already house-trained. Older dogs can learn new tricks AND bond with you, their new guardian. There are 10 million dogs and cats a year languishing in shelters and destined for euthanasia... Related: Monkeypox in N.J.?
