What should you pay attention to when adopting a pet?

There are many stray pets in the world. They were abandoned for various reasons. Stray pets have gradually attracted people's attention, so pet adoption is now on the rise! Whether you are a donor or an adopter, take a look at the following first!

Notes for donors

I believe that giving away a pet is a choice you make when you have no other choice. It may be the following situations:

The family does not agree with the breeding

Work transfer

The landlord disagrees

No time to feed

Discord with other pets in the home

Tired of it

I hope you will consider the situation comprehensively before donating a dog and don’t abandon it at will. Some friends want to give away dogs they have raised for seven or eight years because they don’t have time and hope they can find a good owner for them. I believe these friends really had no choice but to give it away. In fact, as you can imagine, it is very difficult to find such adopters. Will the new owner really treat it well? Can the dog really live well in the new family? ?

If you are determined to make a donation, please do the following:

1. Try to find relatives and friends to adopt. Familiar people know the basics and are easy to communicate with;

2. For strangers’ adoption requests, it is necessary to register the information and understand the other person’s name, age, address, work and other basic information, and try to avoid adoption by students, people with unstable jobs, and people with unstable accommodation (no offense intended, we I hope that everyone can raise pets when they have a stable job and are able to do so. Of course, those with good conditions such as family members to help raise pets are excluded);

3. Negotiate various matters before adoption, such as: whether to be sterilized, whether to sign an adoption agreement form, whether to visit regularly, whether to send photos and videos regularly, etc.;

4. Before the adopter picks up the pet, if you regret the donation, please communicate with the adopter in time, and do not refuse to reply to messages or answer phone calls;

5. Regular follow-up visits can help you understand the life of the pet after adoption, but we do not recommend excessive care, as this will cause some trouble to the adopter. We have encountered friends who asked the adopter to post videos and photos from time to time and overly intervened. The adopter couldn't bear it and deleted his contact information.

Notes for adopters

Although pets are cute, they are like children and require you to have time, space, funds, patience, and care to take care of them. Before adopting, you must understand the habits of pets. What do they eat? How do they eat? How much do they eat? What vaccines are given? Where to get them? How much does it cost? How often are they vaccinated……

Don’t say that if you raise a native dog or cat, you don’t need to be vaccinated, and you don’t need to eat too well. On our platform, pets are treated equally regardless of breed, good-looking or ugly! If you adopt with colored glasses at the beginning, I hope you will give up the idea of ​​adoption!

Many friends want to adopt Samoyed, Chihuahua, Husky, Garfield...

After analyzing these groups, a large part of them are students or friends who have just graduated. They really want to own a beautiful pet, but their income is not fixed and their financial ability is limited. They are reluctant to spend money to buy it and hope to adopt it.

We hope the adopters will do the following:

Understand the pet’s habits and do your homework before adopting;

Make sure you have the time and ability to raise;

Don’t give up easily;

If you don’t want to keep it, please contact the previous owner in time, and be sure to inform the previous owner if you give it to others to raise;

If you don’t love, please don’t hurt.

Whether you adopt or buy it, from the day you decide to keep it, you must be prepared to take care of it for a lifetime, because you are its only support... Article source: Jinhua Pet Official Account
