You will know everything about their health 

If you choose to adopt a pet you will know everything about their health, such as their entire background, energy level, vaccines, allergies or if they can get along well with other animals. This opportunity is free most people are unaware that the shelters usually work with veterinarians and consult them often. So, if there are a lot of animals that live in a shelter, it does not mean that they are unhealthy… unfortunately, they are just unlucky. 

“As you go through lifestyle changes such as moves, the birth of children and new jobs, your animal will remain a permanent part of your life,” says DiCicco. “If circumstances change, it’s crucial to consider if you will still be able to care for your pet before bringing them home.”
