线上领养流程

Before Adopting, Please Consider...
在领养之前,请考虑好……
花销
宠物会带来一些固定花销。考虑到以下支出及其对您家庭预算的影响:食品、玩具、宠物床、笼子、美容、看兽医(每年的注射、检查、不可预见的疾病或紧急情况)、训练课程、证书年费、项圈、狗绳、宠物牌、磨爪桩、猫砂箱/猫砂、狗屋等等。 新宠物的初期花费一般在 $200-300。
承诺
狗和猫的预期寿命一般在10到18岁之间。您和家人准备好对您即将领养的动物作出这个漫长的承诺了吗?
养宠物还包括负责训练、接受兽医的护理以及其他让宠物舒适快乐地生活所必需的事情。我们不知道收容所里的许多动物都有怎样的故事。因此,在您把动物接回家后它们可能会表现出您不喜欢的行为。
您的宠物适应新家时可能会乱咬、乱抓、吠叫或弄脏房子,请您做好处理这些的准备所有这些行为都是很容易纠正的,但需要您用心去教导。领养工作人员可以在这方面给您一些建议。
生活方式
对于您来说,选择一只性格和对护理/锻炼的需求都适合您家的宠物非常重要。 有些狗狗需要大量的锻炼;有些宠物更适合和孩子们在一起;而某些年龄段的小狗和小猫更适合小孩子。如果您不清楚哪种动物最适合您,请咨询我们的领养工作人员。
健康
收容所里的动物可能在流浪时期或到收容所后出现各种各样的健康问题。 虽然我们会尽最大努力为您领养一只健康的宠物,但请您做好宠物可能会生病的准备,如果生病,您将需要支付兽医的治疗费用。 但是,我们将在收养后14天内为上呼吸道感染和其他常见病提供治疗服务。
一些动物可能会有一些已知的健康问题,这些问题可能是可控的。 我们的动物保健人员可以在这方面给您一些建议。
Pets as Gifts
If adopting for friends or family, consider tips from the ASPCA on adopting and gifting responsibly.
Is Now the Right Time?
Think about whether the person you’re gifting a pet to can care for them now and in the future.
- Only gift pets to those who have expressed interest in having a new companion animal.
- If for a child, make sure parents consent and can assume care for the pet.
- Do they have time and energy to care for a new companion animal? Any allergies?
- Do they have the right supplies or resources?
If gift-giving time is hectic, consider giving a place-holder for the adopted pet, and introducing them when the environment is more calm.
