It's a tough decision to know if you have the time and resources to take care of an animal. Pets can be expensive with vet bills, accessories, food, training, pet walkers, boarding, and emergencies.

And if you're renting you need to be sure your housing situation allows for pets. And finally, animals need a lot of attention. Does your lifestyle allow you the time to devote to a pet?
