While searching the internet regarding the idea of giving dogs, cats, and other animals as presents for Christmas or Hanukkah, this article from "ProtectaPet" came up and I thought that it made very good points as to why it is a better idea to wait until after the holidays if you are thinking of giving an animal to someone for the holidays. Of course, if there is a poor stray or abandoned animal that needs you at this time, don’t hesitate to be kind and take him/her into your home! Please remember to "Adopt not Shop".
