People think shelter pets are dirty
Lots of people assume that animal shelters and the animals inside them are dirty and unkempt. In most cases, the myth proves completely wrong. Shelter staff routinely groom animals, giving them regular baths, brushings, and nail clipping sessions.
And animals who live at a shelter generally live in conditions that are much cleaner and safer than what you’d find at a puppy mill. Sure, an animal shelter might smell, well, like animals. But when there are dozens of animals under one roof, can you blame them?
