The Adopt Don't Shop MVMT Pledge

I pledge to make adoption the only option.


I believe every pet deserves a chance at a safe, loving, forever home. I know that hundreds of thousands of adoptable animals are lost in the shelter system each year — not because they are unwanted, but because they are unseen.


I will be a voice for shelter pets.

I will choose adoption, not shopping.

I will share their stories, educate my community, and inspire others to open their hearts and homes.


I will speak for the unseen, the surrendered, and the forgotten.

I will help others choose compassion over convenience.

Because change doesn’t start with a rescue.


It starts with me.
