Why owning a pet is a big decision
Every year, dogs, cats and other animals are surrendered to the care of shelters or rescue organisations. Understanding the reasons why pets are surrendered can help you plan for the long-term commitment of owning a pet. Australian research found that most owners who surrendered their dogs (86%) did so for human-related reasons such as a change in circumstances (moving, travelling, changes in the household dynamic or a new baby), accommodation (landlord issues, property being unsuitable, yard too small or owner going into care), owner health (illness, death or allergies) or financial problems (being unable to afford the dog’s care or vet treatment).
