Adding a pet to your family is a big decision. There are many important factors to consider, including the age and activity level of the pet, as well as your lifestyle, family, living space, and preparation for new expenses. We urge you to consider these factors carefully and learn about the type of animal you are interested in.
The MSPCA encourages adoption as the first option when considering adding a pet to your family. If you feel that a specific breed of dog or cat is the best option for you, we suggest contacting breed-specific rescue organizations. And if you decide to purchase an animal, the below information can help you make a decision that keeps the health and welfare of the animal at the forefront.
