Hopeful Henry: Be a responsible pet owner
Submitted by paula on Mon, 02/15/2016 - 10:09pmAsk Henry:
It’s Responsible Pet Owners Month so I wanted to share my top ten things you need to do to be a responsible pet owner.
1) Being a responsible pet owner starts before you even get a pet. Make sure you pick a breed that fits with your lifestyle. Do you live in an apartment? If so I wouldn’t rush out and get a Great Dane. Always consider adopting from a shelter, there are so many animals looking for their forever homes. If you must go with a breeder make sure they are reputable!
