A Pup Unleashed

"You know how your dad feels about keeping animals in the house, Evan, and this is the second time you'll be upsetting him. Last time, you rescued a cat and kept it for a week in your room. Remember how much we had to convince your dad to grant you permission for doing that?" said Evan's mom, Laurie, in a weary tone.
"I know, mom, but last time I kept the cat just for a week before it got adopted, and now, she is doing well and living with a great family. I found this puppy wandering on the street with no one else around to take care of him. So, I got him home, and I promise I'll get him adopted as soon as I can," pleaded Evan.
"You're a good boy, Evan. I'll talk to your dad and see what I can do," said Evan's mom, with a smile on her face.
Laurie tried to convince Evan's dad, Henry, that night to let Evan keep the pup in Evan's room before he could get it adopted. After much discussion, Henry agreed to let Evan keep the pup only for one week.
Over the next three days, Henry often complained about Evan carelessly letting the pup wander the house whenever he spotted the pup outside Evan's room, but, on the fourth day, Henry was reading a newspaper in the living room when the pup waddled in. Henry peeked at the pup's gait, and suddenly, a smile broke upon his face.

Answer:

So, I got him home, and I promise I'll get him adopted .

you rescued a cat and kept it for a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given passage from "A Pup Unleashed", Evan's character is someone who loves animals and helps them get their forever homes. He would take in strays and help them get a safe house, most of the time, having to argue with his family against taking in strays.

But at the same time, he seems to have a heart of gold for he couldn't ignore the suffering of the animals. After keeping a cat for a week with him and then eventually getting him adopted, he has now taken in another stray, this time, a dog, much against his parents' liking. But despite their original demeanor, they allowed their son to keep the dog for a week. They know he has good intentions and just wanted to get someone to take him home, "get him adopted".

The two pieces of evidence that best support the idea that Evan likes helping animals in need is when he took in a stray cat and kept him for a week and his decision to take in the dog and get him adopted.
