Remember that animals are not just gifts or presents

All they want for Christmas is a FUREVER home! … A cute kitten or puppy under the Christmas tree might seem like the most adorable gift you could give this holiday season. But in too many cases the initial excitement wears off in the new year when people realize the long term commitment of time, money and energy they now have.

Plus animals that misbehave and are now seen as a problem that they no longer want, so shelters are bombarded with people "returning their gifts"  

Please be responsible and only adopt a pet if you're prepared and ready to commit to a lifetime of care … and always ADOPT DON'T SHOP :)
