So you’re thinking about getting a pet. Here are some questions to ask yourself as you consider this decision:
– What kind of pet is right for me and my lifestyle?
– Does my housing allow pets?
– Do I have the financial resources to provide for a pet?
– Where will I get my pet?
And finally: Am I ready to commit to this pet for its entire life?
If you are not prepared to care for your pet for the rest of its life, consider fostering a shelter animal or raising a service puppy instead.
