Things to discuss with your Adoption Counselor
Speak openly and honestly to your Adoption Counselor about your lifestyle (Remember, he/she is only looking out for the best interest of the animal)
Your schedule
Be realistic about how much time you have to give to a pet. Puppies can get lonely and are sometimes destructive if left home alone five days a week. Even adult dogs need to be let out throughout the day. Cats can entertain themselves for longer periods of time; however, all pets need quality time with their pet parents. Assess your schedule, be realistic about how much time you have to give your companion and work with your adoptions counselor to make the appropriate decision.
Children in your household
In addition to providing your children with a loving companion, adopting a pet is a great way to teach kids responsibility. However, some pets, such as puppies and kittens are not a good match for families with children under the age of five. Children under five years old are unable to judge how roughly they are handling small pets. Thus, adult pets with mellow, patient personalities are a better match for families with children under five year old.
Other household pets
Some animal welfare organizations may disqualify a potential Pet Parent for adoption if other pets in the home have not been spayed or neutered.In addition, Adoption Partners always try to gather information abut their pets’ likes and dislikes, especially when it comes to compatibility with other pets. For instance, some cats don’t mind dogs, and other cats are terrified of them. Adoption Partners will take this sort of information into consideration when evaluating a potential match.
Taking all of these factors into consideration when adopting a pet can help ensure a pet and Pet Parent match that will lead to a happy, lifelong relationship.
