There are so many lovable animals out there who need to be adopted! I'd love to offer a home to one.

We rescued our dog from the Madras Humane Society. Best dog ever.

We rescued both of our dogs. Our boy was found in Southern Oregon in the middle of a busy highway in a box with his brother as puppies. Our girl was being fostered after being rescued from a bad home.

My dog was adopted from Central Oregon Humane Society in 2005. I'll always adopt.

I always prefer to save a life by adopting from a shelter. Please don't breed or buy while shelter pets die.

Matt Stickler

I think we need to adopt our own animals here in USA. Cant believe there are well meaning individuals bringing in more unwanted animals into USA from out of country though!!!

Doug Paris

Adopt from US or world-you save a life either way-Why put down someone who is doing a good thing while taking a world view.

Danni

PLEASE spay and neuter your pets.

Heidi Owen

So many animals need homes ,ridiculous to breed more!

Ka San

I've got 1 of each. The oldest is the pedigree, so I will likely replace her with another just like her. My youngest is from a SoCal kill shelter and is a llasa apso/poodle mix. Both are so precious!

3-4 million dogs & cats in the U.S. are euthanized each year because there aren't enough homes. I have and always will adopt. My 3 dogs are all rescues and they are the best!

Doug Paris

Have always adopted for the last 35+ years and have always been more than satisfied with the results. Always Chows which have a bad reputation and never was disappointed after initial intro and train

I think I'll go through a breeder so I know exactly what I'm dealing with when I get a dog. That way I'll know it's history and have it from a very young age.

My mom got our dog from a breeder but I wish we could have adopted

Ken Callison

I’ve done both. Had good dogs both ways. I have purebreds now, but I did look at adopting first.

Patricia Brady-McKinney

3 of our 4 dogs are adopted, but my youngest is from a breeder. I wanted a specific breed, with a good prey drive for rodents and got one from Texas. I waited a long time to find just the right dog.

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Sam Davis

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

David Kline

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Kimmy Wasatch

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students
