Are adopt an animal charities a con?
A "con"? Not really. Most such "adopt an animal" programs are run by zoos and wildlife sanctuaries that use the money to keep the facility open, to pay for food and vet care, and to expand.
In most cases, the specific animal you adopt doesn't get to keep the money, and it doesn't pay for the welfare of that specific animal, but is pooled with all the other donations for the facility's programs. So if 100 people adopt "Larry the Lemur" and nobody adopts "Stinky the Skunk", both animals still get fed, watered and cared for.

Is it legal to own a silver fox in ohio?
It is legal to keep a silver fox at a home residency in Ohio. The only way to keep a sliver fox is at a zoo.
Yes, they do in some stores. Their animals come from horrific animal mills, with conditions as bad as puppy mills. Many die in transport. Petvalu "greenwashes" this horrific trafficking by offering a few spots for rescue animals. But those adoptions are minimal compared to the thousands of small animals and their supplies that they sell.

What should you do when you adopt a dog and it doesn't work out?
The first thing you should do is to try to remedy the situation. For behavioral issues, you should seek advice from a professional trainer or animal behaviorist. If you are having financial issues, work with your vet on a payment plan or look for reduced cost services through local shelter groups. (See the link provided below for a great veterinary credit card with no-interest payment plans.) Is it a time issue? Focus on quality time with your pet instead of feeling guilty about quantity. If you have exhausted all options for keeping your dog, then go back to the source where you got him/her. Most breeders and rescue groups require that you to return the animal to them. If you place an ad in a classified, always require a rehoming fee to avoid them getting into the wrong hands. Lastly, look for a no kill shelter or rescue group to take your pet. Adopting a pet is a lifetime commitment to the animal and giving it up should be a last resort.

What is the information they ask you to adopt a dog at an animal shelter?
These things you may get asked:
1. Why do you want to adopt a pet?Are you looking for the loyal and steady companionship that an animal can offer? Are you hoping to fill the empty place left after a pet has passed? Maybe you want a companion for your child. Knowing why you're preparing to bring a pet home will help you to determine the species and breed that will fit your lifestyle.
2. Are you ready to make a long-term commitment?When adopting, you are making a commitment to care for an animal for the rest of his life-that could mean 10 to 15 years for dogs and up to 20 years for cats. As you go through lifestyle changes such as moves, the birth of children and new jobs, your animal will remain a permanent part of your life. If circumstances change, will you still be able to care for your pet?
3. Do you know what kind of pet is right for you?Your personality and lifestyle, along with challenges such as space restrictions and amount of time spent at home, should be explored to determine what pet is right for your household. Research different breeds and ask shelter staffers what animals they recommend-they're experts at making perfect matches!
4. Can you afford to care for your pet's health and safety?Owning a dog or cat costs more than the initial adoption fee. Food, veterinary care, spaying or neutering and proper identification-that means a collar with tags and a more permanent form of ID such as microchipping-can add up. Check out our Pet Ownership Costs chart to determine what you can expect to pay annually for your pet.
5. Will you be able to spend quality time together?Dogs thrive on several hours of exercise and companionship every day, and pooches who are constantly left alone can develop behavioral problems. Cats are healthiest and happiest indoors and love to be treated to energetic play sessions with their human families. If your work demands that you travel often, or if you're out of the house most days and evenings, this may not be the right time to adopt.
6. Are you prepared to deal with an animal's health challenges?Fleas, allergies and sudden medical issues are just a few of the health-related problems that potential pet owners may face. Can you care for your pet if he gets sick?
7. Are you willing to train your animal companion?Lack of training is one of the most common reasons that adopters return pets to shelters-are you willing to solve behavior problems? Basic training helps dogs and their owners communicate better, strengthening the relationship overall. And taking the time to understand why your cat does what she does, especially when it involves her litter box and scratching habits, will help you avoid potential problems.
8. Are you prepared to pet-proof your home?Whether it's tightly sealing your garbage cans or paying attention to dangerous decorations during the holidays, you'll need to make your home safe before adopting. That includes keeping toxic foods, pet-unfriendly plants and dangerous household items out of paw's reach.
9. Is your living space adequate for an animal companion?Be sure to choose an animal who will thrive in your home. If you're attracted to energetic large-breed dogs, but live in a small apartment, will your pooch have enough room? If you live on a noisy street, will it disturb your cat? Also consider that many landlords don't allow pets or place restrictions on having them. Be sure to check out your "house rules" before adopting.
10. Is your family ready for a pet?If your kids are still toddlers, you might consider waiting a few years before adopting, as pet ownership ideally is a team effort. Children who are mature enough can happily share pet-care duties. You may also have another pet at home who's not yet-or may never be-ready to share his kingdom with another animal.

Where in Tennessee can you adopt a Hemilian cat or kiten?
If you want a purebred Himalayan (correct spelling) you can go to a pet store or direct to a breeder. Many people say to avoid pet stores because the kittens come from "kitten mills" where the cats are overbred in crowded conditions. They also cost more from pet stores. To find a breeder near you, no matter where you live, get a hold of a Cat Fancy Magazine. There are dozens of ads in the back.
Lemurs are wild animals, and should NOT be owned as pets. Instead try dogs, cats, snakes, or rodents.
