Don't Shop, Adopt! Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to consider adopting a pet from a shelter instead of buying one elsewhere. Central Idea:

As people continue to buy animals from breeders and puppy mills they fail to remember all of the animals suffering on the streets and in animal shelters. As people continue to not place an I.D. tag or a microchip on their pet, they are contributing to the homeless animal population.

As people fail to consider the needs of an animal when they’re purchasing one, the risk of abandoning them increases. Animal homelessness is a continuing problem in the United States and needs to be solved.

Golden Foods™, while sells products at a higher price, but makes sure that the primary ingredient is real meat, and taurine , that is an essential protein source for the animals muscles to function properly, and other important ingredients that makes the consumers worry less about their pet
