Adopting a Pet
Lots of people get so caught up
in how much fun a new dog would be, they forget
how much time and money having a dog is going
to take.
And that's why millions of dogs are turned in
to shelters every year. And why millions more
are left to die by a roadside or chained outside
to a doghouse to be miserable for a lifetime.
So, the next time you have a hankering to get
a dog, make sure your life-style is suited to
take on the many responsibilities involved. Take
a "time-out" to ask yourself some important
questions:
Will someone be home to provide meals on a regular
basis?
Are you willing to exercise your new pet twice
a day?
Are you willing to pay for all the inoculations,
periodic veterinary examinations, and any emergency
treatment that your dog may need?
Are you willing to license your dog and use a
leash when off your property?
Are you ready to give your dog daily companionship,
instead of companionship only when it's most convenient?
Do you understand the importance of spaying your
female dog or neutering your male dog?
Sterilization is imperative for many reasons.
Our country is already so overpopulated with animals
that millions have to be euthanized every year
for lack of responsible homes. Also, sterilizing
your dogs gives them healthier, happier lives
and it reduces behavioral problems.
Dogs require time, money, and care and commitment
for a lifetime. If that doesn't fit in with your
life-style, you'd better take another look at
the situation.
