Choosing a pet...

When selecting a companion animal, it's important to consider the animal's individual needs as well as your own wants. It would be a mistake to assume that any animal will fit perfectly into your daily routine. Different animals have very specific needs that will vary depending on many factors including species, breed or mix, personality, and the age of an animal--the younger the animal, the greater the needs. It is always best to make sure you can fulfill those needs before taking on the responsibility.
