Adopting a Pet

Thinking about getting a dog or cat? Pet Project Inc. in Dickinson has a great section on their web site about this. Please consider reading it, as well as other articles and materials, on getting a pet.

Here are some excerpts I particularly like:

"Getting a new pet can be an overwhelming decision, and should not be taken lightly."

"Hurried decisions often lead to homeless and abandoned pets."

"Adopting pets that need homes is a wonderful experience."

"Pets sold through newspapers and petstores are often the results of back yard breeders or puppy mills."

"The last place you should go for a new puppy or kitten is to a petstore."

"A young pet that is exposed to other people, car rides, other pets, loud noises, and new situations will grow up to be a well adjusted pet."
