On my soap box…….Have you seen the many, many pets for adoption at shelters? It’s astounding. Puppies and kittens are adorable as we all know but they grow into adult pets. If you are considering pet adoption be able and willing to make the commitment for their life span to take care of their needs. Spay or neuter your pet (there are free and affordable options for this) , schedule regular veterinarian appointments, training, adequate shelter, exercise and food are a few.
