Before you travel to a breeder,please
remember that there are thousands of pets at adoption groups waiting for a
forever domestic! Here, Ive plotted the distribution by age, and size,and
gender, of dogs and cats on the website Petfinder.com, or which aggregates
hundreds of thousands of listings from more than 12k adoption groups.
While you may own your heart set on a
puppy or kitten,note that most animals available for adoption are somewhat
older. Also, I’m not sure why, or but there are many more female cats than male
cats listed (about 27% more females),whereas with dogs, the number of males exceeds
the number of females by about 9%.
