A DOG IS FOR LIFE, NOT JUST FOR CHRISTAMS

Every year around Christmas dog shelters make appeals to everyone to think before buying a puppy or any pet as a Christmas present. The message is “A DOG IS FOR LIFE, NOT JUST FOR CHRISTAMS” Please think and consider the implications of owning a pet.

After Christmas every year hundreds of dogs end up in shelters or on the streets because of being an un-wanted present. It is all well and good when you first get a puppy, how quite how sweet, but they grow and need a lot of care, food, walking (in all sorties of weather), brushing, play and training.

Puppies are very hard work, they chew, soil, walk you up in the night, dig the garden up, and are very attentions seeking, like children. Puppies take up a lot of your time, do you have time to look after a puppy and do all these jobs every day? If not DON’T BUY A PUPPY.
