    If and when you are considering getting a new pet, the first thing to do is to consider yourself and your lifestyle. Never buy a pet out of a sudden idea. Animal shelters(庇护所)worldwide are full of wonderful pets whose owners got them but later realize they could not take care of them. Learn more about how to choose the right pet below.

    Not all pets are the same. Some pets are more self-sufficient than others — certain pets such as dogs require a lot of attention, others such as turtles can go days (even weeks) without food and water, so you should think carefully before you bring home a pet.

    You can find books and articles on the Internet to help you select the right pet, but these questions are a good place to start:

    How much time and energy are you able to give a pet?

    ●Are the family members all busy working / studying?

    ●  Is there anyone who can look after the animal when you all are away from home?

    What is your living situation?

    ●  Do you live in a flat or a house?

    ●  Have you got a fenced yard?

    ●  ______▲______

    What ages are your family members?

    ●Are they too young to be left alone with a pet?

    ●Are they old enough to help take care of the animal?

    ●Are there elderly people who may be uncomfortable to an overactive pet?

    Do any family members have allergies or fears about certain types of pets?
    Is the family in agreement about owning a pet?

    Where will the pet spend its time?

    Asking yourself these questions will help you decide if a dog or cat is a better choice, or if a bird or rabbit would better suit your lifestyle.
