Pet Adoption Safety Rules

Adopting a pet should be one of the happiest moments in a family's life, but there are sometimes unforeseen events that can bring tears, disappointment and even heartbreak. Here are some safety tips to lesson any problems or danger and to make your experience with your new best friend a fun, exciting and rewarding time.

1. Make sure you and your entire family is fully committed to looking after this living being that needs love, food and shelter. They are not an accessory that is a spur of the monet decision because they were a bargain or struck your heart chords at the time. Think carefully before bringing a pet home.

2. Make sure you ask the shelter staff lots of questions. Some of the animals have severe behavioural or emotional problems and are unsuitable for adoption whereas other animals may be perfect for your home.

3. Make sure the pet the you are keen on gets a thorough vet exam, including immunizations because sometimes shelter staff can miss serious health or behaviour problems. This is especially important if there are small children or other oets in the house.

4. Once you have decided on your new pet allow the pet (eg dog or cat ):
a: to explore your place, room by room on a leash first of all before you give it free reign of house.
b: interaction with other pets and children while you are there.
Eventually your new pet will settle in and blend into the family, but it will take some time and patience.

4. Do not hesitate to bring any pet that develops signs of aggression back to the shelter. Saving an animal's life is not worth risking your family's safety for. Make sure the shelter staff know exactly what the problem was so they can help match the pet with the right people on the next try. It could be that the dog does not like children but is fine with adults or maybe the new pet was snappy with other animals or one gender.
