Think about adoption before buying an animal, whether it's a cat, a dog, a rabbit, a chicken, a ferret,...
Ask yourself what quality of life you are going to offer your pet.
Are you sufficiently available, do you have time for walks, do you often go on holiday, who can look after the animal if you're away, do you have enough room for a large cage, do you have enough income to cover the costs of caring for pets...?
Before any adoption project, find out more:
- Animal boarding conditions
- Websites where you can choose a breed of dog to suit your lifestyle
