Welcoming a new furry friend into the family can be a joyous Christmas event.
If you are thinking of purchasing a furry friend as a gift this Christmas, taking care of them always needs to be considered.
It is a sad reality that dogs and cats adopted during the holidays are often returned in the following weeks.

Every person has different tastes and lifestyles, which is why giving pets to someone must only be done if the recipient is willing to commit and care for them as they would a child or a younger sibling.
If they are, then helping them adopt a new dog or cat may just be the best gift they could ever receive for Christmas.
If you are looking for a new furry companion check out the animals available for adoption at Redland Animal Shelter.
You can see photos on the shelter’s Facebook page and, for more information about the great work the shelter does with animals, visit Council’s website.
