Because it’s a huge responsibility ;
- Why do you want a pet?
- Which breed will fit your lifestyle, dog or cat?
- How much spare time do you have?
- Do you have the funds?
- Will your landlord allow it?
- What about all that grooming ?
- Who will pet-sit when you’re away?
- How settled is your life?
- Are you OK with less free time?
- Do you have the time (and willingness) to train them?
- Are you ready to give them a FOREVER home ?
If these questions makes you doubt about getting a pet, it might not be the right time yet. On the other hand, if you feel ready.. adopt, don’t shop !
