Choosing a pet for your family and lifestyle

Consider these questions:

• What type of home do you live in? Can you deal with expected wear and tear?
• If living in a rental, are you permitted by the property owner to have a pet?
• How much time will you be able to spend with a pet?
• Do you have children? How will they be affected?
• Do you live with a family of pet lovers?
• Are you sedentary or physically active?
• Are you financially able to care for a pet and associated expenses?
• How will you care for a pet if you are away from home or traveling?

When choosing where to get your new pet, consider adoption or rescuing. There are countless warmhearted animals in need of a loving home.
