The holiday season is upon us and there is one thing that should not make it on the Santa's list. You guessed it, a dog.
Now, we're not talking about a sweet pup going home for Christmas after a decision to adopt has been made by everyone involved. Holidays can be a great and special time to rescue and there are plenty of doggies waiting for their forever homes.
No, we're talking about a "you really shouldn't have" and "what a surprise" reaction from someone who didn't expect or want or need a dog.
Finding the right pet that fits your personality, lifestyle, home, schedule, and size preference is difficult enough. Having someone else get it right is almost impossible. So no matter how cute a puppy with a red bow might look, leave him for pet store commercials and greeting cards.
Adopting is a big decision and should not be done on someone else's behalf. Now, if you want to visit a rescue together and pick up the adoption fee, now that's a gift worth celebrating.
