Question:

What should I consider before adopting or rescuing a pet?

Si decide adoptar una mascota, tomar una decisión informada y reflexiva

La decisión de adoptar una mascota es una responsabilidad enorme para usted y su familia. Los refugios de animales es probable que le hará una serie de preguntas e incluso pedir la documentación y referencias, pero todavía tiene sentido dar a su estilo de vida, sus necesidades y sus intenciones antes de empezar el proceso. Lo que hay que tener en cuenta son:

? Los animales son un compromiso a largo plazo; este compromiso puede durar 10-15 años para los perros y hasta 20 años para un gato. Recuerde que este animal estará con usted a través de diferentes épocas en su vida.

? Los animales no se adaptan bien a la soledad, y largos tramos de tiempo solo puede convertirse en problemas de conducta y emocionales para las mascotas. Piense si usted será capaz de tener un cuidador constante, primarias, de modo que las necesidades diarias de la mascota no se pierdan en la multitud de agendas muy ocupadas.

? La responsabilidad de tener una mascota incluye la protección de su salud y seguridad, e incluye los gastos que se extienden más allá de la tasa de adopción (incluyendo básica y la atención de emergencia veterinaria, juguetes, útiles escolares, alimentos, etc.)

? Piense en donde usted vive y dónde pueda vivir durante la vida de su mascota: no todos los animales de compañía es el adecuado para su hogar y su familia no puede ser apropiado para cada mascota.

? Si usted tiene alergias, o cree que podría tener hijos pequeños o con otras cuestiones de vida que te haría cambiar de opinión, fuertemente reconsidere la adopción. Te vas a salvar y una angustia de los animales necesitados en el largo plazo.

? Si usted decide adoptar, ser un dueño responsable: esterilizar o castrar a su mascota, mantenga sus vacunas y medicamentos del parásito del corazón hasta la fecha; llevar perros a la obediencia de formación y aprender sobre el comportamiento de gato, la limpieza de sus mascotas, y pasar tiempo con ellos .

Si usted toma la decisión a adoptar, pensativo y con cuidado, y usted es un dueño responsable, la adopción de mascotas puede ser una experiencia muy gratificante y puede dar muchos años de feliz compañía. Además, su donativo a un refugio de animales ayudará a salvar a los animales de las calles para entrar en hogares felices.
