Unwrapping Responsibility: What It Really Means to Adopt a Pet
Presented by MHHS Humane Education Team

Getting a pet is exciting, and it's also a big responsibility. In this family-friendly seminar, we'll dig into what it truly takes to care for an animal and how to know if your family is read to welcome one home. We'll explore:

  • The daily needs of pets - food, exercise, training, vet care, and more
  • The time, effort, and costs that come with responsible pet ownership
  • The difference between wanting a pet and being ready for one
  • How to choose the right pet for your family (or discover that waiting might be the best!)
