How many dogs/cats are adopted each year, vs being purchased each year?

I m doing a Persuasive Essay about adoption vs purchase/breeding. But I need some valid and trusted statistics about the amount of dogs and cats purchased, so I may compare it to the amount of dogs and cats adopted per year. But I can t find valid information about either one.

If anyone has a link to a .org type site, which has reliable information about these statistics, I d greatly appreciate it

Update:

Thank you very much! I should have enough information here to make some simple claims in my essay, which will strengthen the persuasive points by backing them up with fact!

    It's ASPCA's site,a well- known animal organization.

    I hope it helps, it provides reliable numbers as you ask.

    It's about adoptions/breeding in America.

    good luck ;)
