"It's really important that people adopt," says the singer. "It's really important that people adopt. I really encourage going out to an animal shelter or a place where you can get a dog that has been abandoned or doesn't have a home."
The 16-year-old is encouraging the public to adopt a homeless pet rather than buying one from a pet store, where most of the puppies are bred in puppy mills.
