People need to realize the significance of this post, because when I reblogged it it was just blank so I think some people may not understand what this is trying to say

Adopting an animal (or buying from someone close to you who has recently had puppies, kittens, etc) is not like simply going to the store and buying a toy. You do not just get to throw it away once you are done with it and it stops being cute in your eyes

This is a real living thing that has emotions, needs, and wants, not something to be thrown away when YOU are done after YOU entered at commitment to raise and care for this animal. 

What’s just as bad as dumping the animal off just anywhere you want, whether it be on the side of the road or in a shelter, is that a lot of these animals end up dying after that. Animals are NOT always adopted and strays are not always picked up. Animals can get put down, run over, tortured, and a list of other things 

People should really think about what they are responsible for before they bring an animal into their life

Not to mention that that animal loves you, you are his world, and when you drop him off at the shelter – or worse, in the street – you are abandoning him. He doesn’t know what he did wrong, he thinks you’ll come back, maybe you just dropped him off for a bit and you’ll come back to him.
Not only did you make a commitment, but that animal loves you and throwing them away isn’t just breaking that commitment, it’s throwing away someone who doesn’t understand why you don’t love him anymore and where you went.

This is so important. Animals are NOT toys you just can’t return them because you got bored. Think first before you buy a cute little puppy for your stupid girlfriend or sister or whatever. Okay. This just make me so mad that I can’t keep talking about it. Seriously you have no heart if you do this. Seriously

With Christmas coming up in a few weeks, I felt this needed reiterating.

Reblogging for the holidays. Know what you’re getting into when buying a pet!

This! My cat has abandonment issues. The first time I went away for a weekend, he licked a good chunk of his hair off his stomach. It’s never grown back. It thankfully did not get bigger and he knows I’m always coming home but still. Multiple people abandoned my poor cat before I adopted him. I’ve left him alone a few times over the year since I’ve had him and he knows I’m always coming back but it still kills me to leave him knowing that. Animals have feelings just like humans. Dont be a dick, don’t just adopt animals for a present when you are not prepared to take care of them for the rest of their life.
