Pet
Adoption:
|
Pet Adoption should not be done
on a whim. The adoption of a pet carries with it all the cost
and responsibility of a new family member. The animal you adopt
will be solely dependent on you for it’s food, shelter, health
care and most of all companionship. Please consider how much
time and what resources you have to care for this new family
member.
The initial cost of any
pet i.e. adoption fee, spay or neuter, Rabies and yearly
vaccinations, heartworm preventative and deworming medications,
A
dog license and a name tag or perhaps a microchip are minimal
compared to the cost of caring for the animal over it’s life
span of 8 to 15 year. Visit this link to the
ASPCA which will give you an idea what the cost of a pet
could be.
Do you have the time and energy
to feed it, clean up after it, exercise and train it and perhaps
the most meaningful of all – time to relax and bond with the
pet? Puppies and young dogs are just like babies and 2 year old
children. Their attention span is short and gentle training is
essential so they learn what is expected of them and what the
routine is. Have everyone agree on the training commands and
use only these commands. Animals respond quicker if the same is
used consistently. Different commands from several people
create confusion in both parties and frustration sets in.
The shelter animal you
adopt may be confused in its new home. They should always be on
a lease and under an adults control when outside. Depending on
how fast they bond to you, it may take several months until they
realize where “home” is.
