In 1863 a man named Henry Bergh went to Russia for work and saw how they treated work animals. He came back to New York and by 1866 he had founded the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty of Animals. In 1894, the society created animal shelters and promoted the practice of animal rescue in New York City. In 2009 there were about 3,500 animals shelters throughout the United States, and over the years the number has continued to grow. Millions of animals enter these shelters every year. Only 2% of cats and only 17% of dogs are returned to their owners. Owned animals live longer and healthier lives than strays or animals in shelters. The only thing these animals want is a family that will love them. Go save an animal today by adopting one from an animal shelter!
