The "public" ones are bad enough. Not only are "personal" ones not allowed in neighborhoods, but they are absolute TORTURE for some animals...including my dog.

Getting a pet for the holidays...

Not a good idea to get one for a family member who you "think" should have one. If you "think" they should have one, offer to take them to a shelter so that they can choose one for themselves. If they decline...accept it! If they agree, make sure that they pick one with an energy live commensurate with theirs. Make sure that it is a size that fits their living arrangements. Make sure that it is one they can handle. (A strong dog for someone using a walker or cane is not a good idea.)

If you have young children, a "puppy" may not be a good idea. It takes a lot of work, may make messes in the house, chew on things it shouldn't and need walks (not just put in the yard).

Although a lot less expensive than adopting a child, rescues expect (and hope) that you are making a long-term commitment. Unfortunately there are too many cases where the wrong pet winds up in the wrong home because someone "thought" a loved one should have one for company, exercise, etc.

The other concept is to buy a particular "breed." Also not necessarily a good idea since it might not be a good fit.

Also, just like people, not all animals are equal. Take time to get to know the one you "think" might be a good fit BEFORE you sign the papers.

Not sure if you are ready for a pet? Why not consider "fostering." This can give you a trial run before making the full-time commitment.

Good Luck & may your holiday dreams come true!
