We believe that companion animals deserve the opportunity to be adopted into a caring and loving home.

Visit pet stores, breeders or humane societies to get hands-on experience with the actual pet to see if you are going to be comfortable with it. This is especially important with a dog or cat when purchasing from a breeder or pet store. You might use this time to decide exactly where you want to purchase your pet and who want to buy from.
The next step is to buy all the supplies for your pet that you want or need and give these to the children for Christmas. But...reserve buying the pet until sometime after Christmas, you will find this a lot less stressful on you and the pet, and the children will have a part in picking out their new friend. There are only a couple of benefits for getting the pet and giving it Christmas morning, while there is a whole list of reasons why its better to wait. Giving Pet Christmas Day: 1. The surprise element 2. No fighting over which one to take Giving Pet After Christmas: You don't have to find a place to keep pet until Christmas morning. Children can help pick out which one to make their new friend. You can see how they interact together. No stress of housebreaking during holidays(in case of dog). No worries if relatives have allergies. No figuring out what to do with pet while people visit or where to put pet while you go to visit. Many Breeders breed for the seasonal spontaneous buyers resulting in often poorer quality pets with more health problems. 8. Prices will drop after holidays, as with anything else. 9. It's less stressful on your pet to be introduced to a "normal routine" as opposed to hectic holidays. 10. You will have more time to devote into making everyone comfortable with the new addition in a relaxed atmosphere and can explain the care needed for pet. 11. Pet is less likely to be cast aside as rest of gifts are explored and played with. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Remember - NEVER spontaneously decide to purchase a pet its not fair to anyone involved.
