There are various situations to consider before adopting a life long friend. Some may be foreseen and others are just the surprises that come along in life.
It happens so quick! You see a cute green eyed Labrador mix whose tail seems to be wagging just for you, your instantly in love! Next thing you know, you're walking down the pet food aisle at the supermarket.
If you're like most of us, falling in love with a pet is easy. And no wonder! Sharing your home with a four-legged friend can be one of life's greatest joys. Dogs, cats, and other pets give us unconditional loyalty and acceptance, provide constant companionship, and even help relieve stress after a hard day's work.
Sure, it's a long list of questions. But a quick stroll through any rescue will help you understand why answering them before you adopt is so important.
Many of the rescues homeless pets are just puppies and kittens. Helpless victims of irresponsible pet ownership. However there are just as many who are more than a year old, obtained by people who didn't think through the responsibilities before making a decision.
Please, don't make the same mistake. Think before you adopt. Sharing your life with a companion can bring incredible rewards, but only if you're willing to make the necessary commitments of time, money, responsibility, and love-for the life of the pet.
