Lauren Tennant, a resident of Georgia, splits her time between serving as a cognitive skills trainer at LearningRx and as the assistant manager at Duck Donuts. In addition to her professional roles, Lauren Tennant studies at Georgia State University and volunteers at the Cobb County Animal Shelter.
The Cobb County Animal Services unit has operated since 1971. Dedicated to the lives of local animals, it offers pet rescue and adoption services. Adoption addresses pet overpopulation, which results in millions of unwanted animals. In addition, it contributes to millions of pet euthanizations since shelters cannot care for them. Adoption gives homeless pets a chance to live in a loving home and saves them from euthanization.
In addition, pet adoption saves families money. Breeders charge hefty prices that climb into the thousands. Shelters charge a fraction of the cost, and some may waive or reduce adoption fees. Some shelters roll vaccine costs into the total fees, and some animals have prior training, reducing the amount that families and individuals will pay.
Lastly, some shelter animals are healthier than those bred in mills. Some mills keep animals in poor conditions and hide their medical issues. Shelters screen the health conditions of the animals so that they can receive the proper care before and after adoption.
