Consider Which Animal is Right for You: article by hkh While there are many types of animals, there are also characters and character traits that go with each species... and like people, each one has an individual character; so you want to be sure to find the right companion for you and not a pet that you thought was cute at the time." For instance, if you're looking for a dog or new pup and "fall in love with a younger Border Collie" but live in a small condo on the 3rd floor and work full time - forget the Border Collie - PLEASE! (or move to the country if you r-e-a-l-l-y want that collie from the bottom of your heart) Young Border Collies and 3rd story small spaces with pet parents who work full time, spells - disaster!! (or usually) It's always in your best interest to find out about any breed's natural characteristics before bringing it home to "fit in". Some folks try for several months, in hopes that things will change but after much grief to both parties and usually at a financial cost for property damage to the person or persons, the pet ends up back at a shelter - so please take into consideration that whether seeking a dog or cat as a new pet, each animal has certain traits that are built in and you want to find the one that will fit into your life so all concerned are content. Breeders, Vets, or even previous owners are a good place to start seeking information on animals that you are interested in. Pets are for life, so make it an experience that's right from the start before adopting. If you're a home owner, half the decision is made - you can get almost any animal you want, but again, there are many considerations to be thought out prior to your decision. ~ Do You have a busy routine? ~ Are you single or with family? ~ What kind of time can you "spare" for a new pet member? Here are a few other considerations before getting a pet family member. Before Getting a Cat || Before Getting a Dog
