This is the time of year when people who celebrate Christmas all over the world start thinking about Christmas gifts, what to get for who. We need to offer a word of caution to those who are thinking about getting a pet, a puppy or kitten, for someone as a gift. Year after year, there’s an influx of pets that were given as gifts showing up at shelters because the recipients of these wonderful living ‘gifts’ find that they weren’t really ready for a pet in their lives. Maybe they don’t have the room, the time or even the inclination to own a pet. Perhaps there’s an allergy. There could be many reasons for them not to want to keep the pet. The bottom line is that hundreds and thousands of puppies and kittens wound up at shelters or just abandoned shortly after Christmas. If you are thinking about giving a pet this Christmas please remember that a pet is for life and not a throw away item.
