The holidays are a popular time to bring home a furry new friend. Finding a cute little puppy under the tree is the dream of many hopefully kiddies, and for homeless animals in shelters and foster homes, getting a real home is the best gift ever. Think before you act. Adopting an animal as a serious commitment, so if the holiday spirit is moving you to adopt a pet for yourself or someone else, carefully consider whether the timing is right. In some households, time off from work or school during the holidays can give the new owner Angel is a nice, one year old Lab mix. She is a and pet the chance to bond and sweetheart that gets along well with other dogs and establish a routine. On the other hand, loves people. Angel is waiting to meet her forever family the holidays can be hectic, making the at the Cumberland County SPCA and Animal Shelter in adjustment difficult for pet and owner Vineland. 856-691-1500. alike. So before you head to the animal shelter, consider these important points. Don’t make a choice for someone else. Surprises are wonderful, but never surprise a person with a pet. Get the recipient’s okay, and then take the recipient to the shelter where the person and pet can choose each other. If the animal will live with you, include other members of the household in selecting the animal. Wait until things settle down. If you plan to have houseguests or entertain during the holidays, wait to bring home the pet until the holiday hubbub has passed. Commotion is over-stimulating — and sometimes terrifying — to an animal unused to its surroundings. And waiting until you have more time to devote to your new pet will make it easier to enjoy the new addition to your family.
