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?
