You know the scene: A child runs downstairs in pajamas to unwrap her holiday presents and sheds joyful tears as she hugs a new puppy rescued from a shelter. The music builds up, hearts double in size and faith in humanity is restored. Before taking that step, there are a few things to consider.
First is the element of surprise. The timing could be a surprise, but the animal should absolutely not be a surprise. The decision should be based on many conversations. Everyone involved should understand the long term consequences, children included.
Next, you'll choose whether to adopt from a shelter or rescue. The y are across the country flooded with lovable animals. They also offer physical locations where you can meet a lot of animals at once. On the other hand, rescues are smaller and funded by donations. They often rely on fosters to house animals.
Applications and their processing times vary and can include tasks like proving that your landlord allows pets. Check to see if applying online is possible. If you're applying in person, make sure you know what to bring.
If you're worried about the huge responsibility of choosing the pet for your child, you can wrap a leash (牵引绳)or a pet bag as the gift, and then take the future pet owner to the shelter. This step will be more meaningful and memorable than just having an animal show up at your door.
A. Now, you can welcome the lovely one with open arms.
B. Nothing is more beautiful than seeing your child smile.
C. Shelters tend to be larger and quicker to process applications.
D. Whichever you choose, apply and become approved as an adopter first.
E. While it is sweet, giving a living creature as a gift isn't a light decision.
F. Involving your child in the selection process adds to the whole experience.
G. Responsibilities can be assigned to them even before their new pet arrives.
