Before You Adopt: Key Considerations
- Time: Dogs need 1-3 hours of attention daily. Puppies need more.
- Money: Average $1,000-2,000 first year, $500-1,000 annually after.
- Space: All pets need appropriate housing and exercise areas.
- Commitment: Dogs live 10-15 years, cats 15-20 years.
- Lifestyle: Travel, work hours, and social life will change.
Why adopt instead of shop?
6.3 million pets enter US shelters annually. Adopting saves a life (and opens a shelter spot for another animal). Adoption fees ($50-300) include spay/neuter, vaccines, and microchip - saving $300-500 vs doing these separately.
