Want to give a dog or cat a home?

There are many things to consider if you are thinking of giving a home to a cat or a dog.

If you go to a shelter you will usually be asked to complete a questionnaire or even require a home visit to access suitability or help you decide what type of pet is best for you. Below are the sort of things you should consider when deciding on getting a pet.

• Do you have other pets?
• What sex of cat or dog would you like?
• What type of home do you live in? (house/flat/etc)
• Is your home quiet?
• Do you live on a busy road?
• Are you adjacent to a railway?
• Do you have a back-garden?
• Is there anyone at home during the day?
• Where will the cat or dog spend daytime?
• Where will the cat or dog spend night-time?
• Are there children in the home?
• What is the main reason for wanting a pet?
• Is anyone in your family allergic to dogs or cats?
