What is the author’s position in this essay?

The author’s position in this essay is that adopting a pet from a shelter is the most responsible way to add a pet to your family.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the reason why?

Because the city’s animal shelters are already overflowing with pets in need of a loving family, some of which were lost, abandoned, or have never even had a home before. They have kittens and puppies, for those that prefer raising a pet since they are little, as well as adult animals that have already been housebroken for those who rather avoid the hassle of disciplining a new pet. There are pets for all kinds of needs, including active families, or pets suitable for apartment living.
