Advice on how to Adopt a New Pet
25
I am offering a 30-60 minute conversation in which I will find out about your lifestyle and advise you where to look and what to do to identify your new furry family member. We can talk via Skype, messenger, phone, or email.
Do you want a couch potato to watch tv with you? An athletic buddy to go for a jog? A super-smart competitor for flyball or freestyle? Do you have children, elderly family members, or other pets to consider? Do you travel or work long hours?
I can also answer your concerns about adopting a shelter or rescue pet over buying a puppy or kitten and explain the advantages.
What preparations do you need to make before bringing your new furbaby home? What are the first steps to take upon their arrival? What should you feed your new kitty or dog?
I want to set you up for a happy and successful adoption!
