Sometimes
it may seem like a cute idea to give someone a pet as a Christmas present, but
it’s important to give that some extra thought before you do it. Most pets that
are given up lose their home because their owner loses interest in them or is
unprepared for the responsibility of pet ownership. This is a huge problem seen
among pet owners who receive their pets as “gifts.” Children especially are
given the mistaken idea that pets are all fun and games, but they are not fully
ready to take on the responsibility of feeding, walking, cleaning, and training
their pet.
Instead
of giving pets as presents, we recommend getting acclimated to the idea of
bringing a new pet into your home. Bringing your children to volunteer at an
animal shelter or babysitting the pet of a friend or family member can help.
Children and potential pet owners (no matter their age!) need to be reminded
that pets aren’t just cute; they are also hungry, need to exercise, and need to
use the bathroom. They can be messy when they aren’t fully trained, and the
training process can be difficult too.
Please,
don’t adopt until everyone in your family is READY.
Hi i am 17 and i have a year old german mix and i need her to beef up.I have her competing and she needs a more aggresive look so i was wondering is it safe to use some of the muscle building supplements that are out there for dogs and if so what brand should i go with. Keep in mind she is very loyal and she is a trained protection dog he only reason i am doing this is so she is more aggresive looked. Thank you for your help and have a bless day.

Before giving a pet to an elderly person, make sure they want it and can care for it. Many who have dementia get a pet and cannot remember to feed it, to let it out when needed, or to take care of the pet if it is an outdoor animal. I see many neglected dogs and cats whose owners are old, 17 years ago we got our boys kittens for Christmas. One white and one black. They named them Sugar and Cocoa and loved and treasured them for the last 17 years. The first shelter that we went to turned us away telling us that they don't allow adoptions as Christmas gifts (even though we were parents gifting to our own children). I have tremendous mixed feelings about this. I personally don't like the ASPCA's new mantra of no barriers to pet adoptions. I have her competing and she needs a more aggressive look so i was wondering is it safe to use some of the muscle building supplements that are out there for dogs and if so what brand should I go with.
