BREEDING UNWANTED PUPPIES IS AN ACT OF CRUELTY.

It knowingly adds to a heartbreaking problem — the massive overpopulation of dogs. Every year, thousands of healthy, loving dogs are euthanized simply because there aren’t enough homes. Others sit in overcrowded shelters or rescues, waiting and waiting … and far too many struggle to survive on their own. By allowing more puppies to be born, we’re condemning innocent lives to neglect, abandonment, and sometimes death.

Wow — that sounds harsh, doesn’t it? But it’s the truth, and that’s why the nice folks at Animatch get a little fired up about it. We see litter after litter of adorable pups (yes, like me!) arriving all the time. And while people rush to adopt us cute little fluffballs, the older or adolescent dogs — the ones who’ve been waiting longer — get overlooked. So please, for their sake and ours … spay and neuter your dogs. Please.

Now that we’ve had our serious talk, let’s get to the fun stuff!

My name is Elantra, and I came here with my sisters Kona and Sonata — we were one of “those” litters. The lucky part? Animatch has promised that no matter how long it takes, they’ll make sure we all find our forever homes.

I’m a typical puppy: busy, curious, and full of love. I’ll need a family who’s home most of the day, ready to tackle training, socialization, and plenty of potty breaks. Puppy classes? Yes, please! They’ll help us bond and give me a great start in life. I’d love another dog to play with, and I might even do fine with a cat — I’m open-minded! Respectful kids would be awesome, too.

If I sound like your kind of pup, fill out that application and ask for Elantra. Together, we can help make the world a little kinder — one spayed, neutered, and loved dog at a time.
