I FIND THE PAW-FECT PET
Finding the perfect furry, scaly or feathered friend involves thoughtful reflection. Consider your lifestyle, time availability, space, allergies, and finances - you may be surprised at the breed that's right for you. Some animals, such as guinea pigs, need company, so you'll need two. Volunteering at a local shelter can help solidify your choice. Take your time, gather information, and make an informed decision. This will set the stage for a joyful and fulfilling relationship between you and your new pet.
2 ADOPT DON'T SHOP
There are thousands of pets that need a good home (summer is kitten season, so now's a great time to rehome a young cat), and it's much more affordable to adopt a pet through a trusted organisation than to buy one. Start your search at reputable animal rescue charities like Dogs Trust, the RSPCA, Blue Cross, and Battersea. People relinquish pets for all sorts of reasons, including time constraints, inexperience, or financial challenges - not solely due to behavioural issues. Find a rescue and re-homing centre near you at adch.org.uk.
