Hi! My name is Heiley and today i will be 
talking about the benefits of adopting a 
pet.

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:13,900
have you ever thought about adopting? I've 
always wondered what it would be like to 
adopt a puppy or a cat.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Then, i think about all of the responsibilities 
that comes with adopting a pet

4
00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:23,900
I do love to think about how I can help an 
animals life by providing a home and love

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:37,900
I personally am currently planning on adopting 
a pet. Why? because every day there is a 
possibility that I can save an animals life

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:45,100
You are probably thinking to yourself Is 
it worth it? or should i really spend all 
of that money on a pet?

7
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:57,100
It is a huge responsibility and it requires 
a lot of your time but there are many benefits 
your pet will get from you and you will get 
from your pet as well

8
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:09,400
I believe that adopting, whether is s dog, 
cat or any other animal in need of a home 
will help you with your mental and emotional 
state

9
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:14,300
first, I would like to inform you about how 
difficult it is for an animal to find a home 
and how you can save their lives by providing 
them with a home. .

10
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,800
Many animals are left alone in the streets 
without food or water.

11
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:34,800
According to Lisa barley in VT Special,  
“7.6 million pets enter shelters annually”

12
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:41,500
Many dont even make it to a shelter because 
they die from the weather conditions.

13
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,000
many animals have a hard time finding a home, 
especially older animals

14
00:01:46,100 --> 00:02:00,700
Many people tend to adopt the puppies and 
just younger animals because they are considered 
to be more cute and adorable than the older 
ones

15
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:13,700
If are considering adopting a pet, you should 
definitely try fostering one first because 
it gives you the real experience of what 
it takes to take care of an animal.

16
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:26,700
adopting a pet does not mean making your 
pet a prisoner at home without you spending 
time with your pet.

17
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,600
Having a pet can also help you keep yourself 
healthy.

18
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:55,400
According to research in the American Journal 
of Cardiology, "pet-owning victims of cardiac 
arrest are likely to survive at least an 
additional year after the heart attack. In 
fact, dog ownership may be the most helpful 
medicine for a post-heart attack life.”

19
00:02:55,500 --> 00:03:06,100
this is very interesting because animals 
can sense their owner being sick before they 
do.

20
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:17,100
and can help you recover I mean emotionally 
will support you from and help you with your 
mental state when your sick.

21
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:30,900
by adopting a pet you are already provided 
with protection and you also get to have 
a companion that can help you relieve stress, 
anxiety and lots of emotional support

22
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,800
They provide emotional support

23
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:40,700
It is crucial for you to be responsible in 
order to adopt a pet

24
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:46,400
animals need a lot of attention just like 
a kid does

25
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:55,600
They need food, water, time to go for a walk, 
playtime, time to go pee, poop, they have 
a lot of necessities just like a kid does 
.

26
00:03:55,700 --> 00:04:02,500
It is important to manage your time wisely 
and most importantly, create a good relationship 
with your pet

27
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,200
You have to be able to make your pet trust 
you.

28
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:20,400
There is an important topic I would like 
to talk to yall first. the I important of 
adopting instead of buying one.

29
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:28,700
One of the main differences between adopting 
and buying is that adopting is way more cheaper

30
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:42,200
Most animals are already neutered since shelters 
are trying their best to prevent other animals 
from having to live in the streets

31
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:54,500
if you are interested in adopting, you should 
definitely be very responsible and think 
about what it takes and if you are ready 
for it.

32
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,500
because they will need your attention and 
love

33
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:11,900
Once you do adopt, you will start seeing 
that your mood will improve and you will 
most likely be less stress because you will 
have a companion with you

34
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:20,400
I encourage you to think about adopting to 
provide more happiness to your life and also 
save a life.
