What age do you have to be to adopt a dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Swimmingaround

Woof woof? do you mean for the Dog or the prospective owner? It really is a serious matter that should be given more consideration. Kids frequently swap items with no concern as to their long-term maintenance, llike tops and other toys- not applicable to a living pet. also there is in a sense a minimum age where the animal can live on its own and is weaned from its mother- with Cats usually this is about 8 weeks- and they have the semblance of a lithe, adult-like body but still kittens- with puppies it would vary according to the breed. It is by no means as tightly regulated as automobile and gun licenses, but there are allied problems from the maturity standpoint. an excellent question, Ruff!

What do you do when you adopt a cat?

Asked by Sarjol123

A good place to start when you get a new cat is to give it some time to adjust to its new surroundings. Cats generally don't like change, and although it is probably in a better situation after you bring it home, it will most likely be a little shy at first. I like to create a "safe" room when I bring a new cat home. This would ideally be a smallish room with places for the cat to hide (even something as simple as a cardboard box or two). Try not to disturb the cat too much while it is in there, and give it some time to adjust to it's surroundings. Also, you should make sure that you show it where its food and litter box are. After it seems to have adjusted to the safe room, you may want to begin letting it into more and more of your home. It may take a while for your cat to be completely comfortable in your home, but it will be well worth your time to take it slowly.

Why is it better to adopt a pet at an adoption center than a pet store?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some adopted/rescued pets need extra training to help them adjust to life as a pet. But I wouldn't say they need extra care. Most rescuers don't know much about animal behavior/training and often make small problems bigger without realizing it. The truth is that with an educated and experienced owner there is no difference between a rescued dog or a dog from the worlds best breeders. It's really about the people. If you don't want to deal with the over-protective, crazy rescue people (I have a right to call them that, I was once one of them!) go to a good breeder who breeds for show, you'll get a very healthy dog and a lifetime of help from the breeder. You can also go to a shelter, but it's hard to know what dogs will need the most training and where to turn if you ever need help. If you need more info you can contact me through my webiste: www.valordogs.com (I'm a dog trainer).

Is it free to adopt a kitten?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

some shelters make it free but most of them sell the cats not give it away.

Even if you do get the kitten for free there are some start up costs of adopting a kitten. You have to buy dishes, food, litter pans, and cat litter; plus whatever toys and other acoutrements you deem necessary for your cat. Plus there may be vet costs as well for shots, etc.

What big cats are legal as pets?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends what country you're in. Big cats retain their wild ways and they are not very safe in a household situation.

There will be laws relating to what pets are legal to own, and there will also be laws about how you can obtain these pets and how you can bring them into the country. You will generally be required to obtain a licence to keep big cats.

In Britain the "Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976" is the most relevant law.

In the USA different states have different laws. In some (e.g. California) private ownership of big cats is illegal, while in some (e.g. Alabama) there are few to no restrictions on keeping any big cats as pets.

Are garter snakes nice to humans?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not especially.

Garter snakes are small and nonvenomous, so they're not particularly dangerous to humans. They do have sharp teeth, though, and if they feel threatened they may bite.

Is it a good idea to buy a domesticated fox for a pet as long as its smell and digging can be handled?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is okay as long as you are sure it is a domesticated fox and not just a wild one that has been "tamed". A domesticated fox is one that was bred in captivity from a long line (at least 4 or 5 generations) of foxes bred for pet like qualities. And be sure to get it neutered. You will have a lot less grief - just like with a dog or cat.

Can a US citizen adopt a dog in Canada?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The dog must first be registered to the original owner (usually the breeder) with the American Kennel Club. A US-born puppy cannot be registered with the Canadian Kennel Club until it is registered with the AKC. If the pup is sold before being registered, the original owner signs the Transfer of Ownership on the registration application and the new owner gets the registration papers in their name.

The dog must first be registered to the original owner (usually the breeder) with the American Kennel Club, then

The dog must be registered with the American Kennel Club like any other AKC-eligible American-born pup. The breeder either registers the pups or signs the appropriate application for registration, with details of the breeding date, birth date, sire and dam's names and registration numbers. If the breeder (original owner) also signs the transfer of ownership on the registration application, the new owner will get the registration papers in their name.

That is how a US born puppy gets registered with AKC, no matter where it lives.

If the owner then wishes to register the dog with the Canadian Kennel Club, they will need the AKC registration papers in their name, an official 3-generation pedigree from the AKC, and an Application For Registration Of A Foreign-Born Dog from the CKC.

What are animal adoption schemes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Typically schemes surrounding animal adoption focus on fake breeders. A dishonest person will claim to have a dog or a litter of puppies for sale, have you wire money to an account (often through a third party whose identity they are assuming), and then never deliver a dog.

Be sure that you know your breeder's reputation if you are going that route. The best way to ensure avoiding this sort of scheme is to get a dog through a rescue group or a shelter where you can meet the dog in person and adopt directly.

How much does it cost at Humane Society rome to adopt a kitten?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer to this is going to vary from shelter to shelter. The cost usually includes neutering, which makes it quite a deal. Costs in the Midwest usually range from $40 to $100. If you can take an adult cat, instead of a kitten, a lot of shelters offer them for less, and even free periodically during the year. Some also give a deal if you take two kittens.
