If you are an animal lover, you know how close you become to your pets. They are part of the family, and many  great animals are out there waiting for a loving home.

I have always been a sucker for animals, especially dogs. Growing up my family dog Maggie was my constant companion. So when we bought a house we knew that we wanted to get at least a dog to start. To me this is a huge perk of owning a home, in that you are able to provide for an animal with out the worry of having to move because of them. Believe me when I was younger I learned the hard way about getting a dog before I was ready for all the responsibility.

I am not gonna lie, things can get a little crazy with 2 dogs and 2 cats as of now, but at the end of the day it is all worth it, and 3 of our animals are all from Animal Allies. Please check out the video below to see why I think shelter animals Rock!
