Please remember this Holiday season that each puppy or kitten you adopt or buy this Christmas needs a ten to twenty-year commitment!❤️
That’s a really long time, and sadly most people don’t realize this when buying pets as gifts for others.
In fact, according to PETA, a shelter in Fargo, North Dakota, reports that in its area, more than 700 animals are turned over to shelters right after the holidays every year. 🐶
Another shelter in Idaho has asked that people don’t give pets as surprise gifts to others.
These are sad facts - but important to realize that a pet really is a commitment to training, food, and proper care. If you can’t commit, don’t adopt.
We appreciate all of you who can either make the commitment or know to wait until you’re ready! Whatever works for YOU is the best way. ❤️🐶
