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!

Make sure your pet has id!

Does your pet have ID?

There are so many posts/websites for missing/runaway/lost pets...mostly cats and dogs.

If you REALLY LOVE your pet, no matter the species, you should make certain that it has some sort of ID. The best, and not likely to get lost, is the microchip. Painlessly injected under the skin, when scanned it can reconnect you through the scan company with your loved one.

Of course the more traditional method is the tag on a collar. I can speak from experience that this can have several problem, but is easy to get at most pet stores. This provides a quick way for someone to contact you without having to find someone with a scanner.

Even if you think you are just letting your dog out into the yard they should have ID on them. You never know if they will find a way out or escape. Loud noises or a good scent may cause them to bolt out of the yard or house. Having a collar on them can facilitate them being caught.

If you can't find it in you budget or heart to do this simple act of love, maybe you shouldn't have a pet. Should you find yourself in this situation, please contact a shelter or foster organization. They will make sure your pet finds a safe and loving furever home.
