2. A PET CAN BE A SOURCE OF JOY, FUN, AND COMFORT FOR
AN INDIVIDUAL OR A FAMILY -- IF YOU FIND THE RIGHT PET.
FOR CHILDREN, PETS PROVIDE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE,
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES, AND A CONNECTION TO
NATURE. PARENTS AND OTHER ADULTS FIND THAT PETS ARE
GREAT COMPANIONS. WHILE THE CHOICE OF A PET CAN
HAVE A MORE LASTING IMPACT THAN ALMOST ANY OTHER
"ACQUISITION", IT IS OFTEN A HIT-OR-MISS PROPOSITION.
STUDIES SHOW THAT PETS ACQUIRED ON IMPULSE ARE
MORE LIKELY TO BE GIVEN UP THAN PETS THAT ARE
CAREFULLY AND THOUGHTFULLY CHOSEN. EVERY PERSON,
FAMILY, AND PET IS UNIQUE. THERE IS NO "IDEAL PET“ , NO
"ONE SIZE FITS ALL" . IT TAKES FORETHOUGHT AND
PLANNING TO FIND THE RIGHT PET FOR YOU OR YOUR
FAMILY.
