If you are looking for a non-human companion that won’t send you to the cleaners, here are some things to keep in mind.
Why a pet?
Pet ownership comes with many perks. In addition to companionship, a pet may reduce stress, stimulate you to get out and exercise, and connect you to a community of like-minded animal lovers. Pet ownership also comes with responsibility – some of it, financial. Pet owners need to provide the basics of professional medical care, quality food, and adequate shelter for their animals. And, of course, pets need love. That’s free. And the love they give back . . . priceless. Photo Credit: Photos8.com
